ups and downs

I'm not sure what to do with this anymore. 

Vicki pointed out to me the other day that it has kind of become symbolic of our life right now. 

If you remember, it was the project I was working on when I got the call from my doctor saying that I had cancer.  Weeks later I finished it and then couldn't find it.  Found it a few weeks later - down in the basement.  Hung it on the wall in the foyer.  It fell down.  I hung it again with hooks and was happy it stayed up all night, then all the next day, then for a week, then never thought much more about it.   Then a couple of Saturdays ago I heard a noise after I went to bed.  Thought it was Brian coming in, so I just went back to sleep.  This is what I saw the next morning:

Hmph!  So I was showing Vicki what happened when she came over the other day, and she said that it's just kind of like our life right now - ups and downs.  Yes, I guess it is.  Who knew that "W" would be such a source of frustration for me yet a source of laughter at the same time.

I'm at a loss now how to hang it anymore.  I'm thinking it's just going to sit on the mantle, leaning against the wall.  We have picture frames like that, and they've been safely up there for over 4 years so surely this will be a safe place for it - we'll see.
