03 / A note from Diane

A home I wanted to keep calling mine.

After Gord died, I was still in our Ottawa home, learning what it meant to look after the place on my own. I wanted to feel comfortable opening the door, coming home after dark and turning out the lights at night.

The useful changes were often small: a stronger strike plate, a clear plan for a knock at the door, a neighbour who knew when I was away. I put them together here so you can work through your own home at a sensible pace.
