This is a photo of the back porch of the house taken during my last visit there – after my dad had passed away in 2010 and we had cleared everything out to put it on the market.
To anyone else, it is just one in a row of typical suburban Chicago bungalows. To me, it is a place that was filled with books, learning, plants, animals, good food and love.
Early memories of time spent playing “dolls” on a blanket in the side yard, or making “pemmican” in the sandbox alongside my brother’s battlefields, or seeing who could swing the highest, or just taking some time to “go sit on the back porch”.
