Giants Key

Giants Key was the first key I received to my childhood house. A birthday present cut at Home Depot to match the original house key, this dinky piece of metal followed me through middle and high school. It saw sunrises and sunsets, and the fun times amongst a rough stretch.

Yet the relaxing land of retirement arrives for all, and after a long and strenuous career, Giants Key was let go just as quickly as it was called up. I was gifted a new shiny Sword Key as an 18th birthday present. My first key was now my old key.

When Sword Key broke in early 2021, Giants Key kindly came out of retirement to resume the duty of opening the front door. This task came easy and was done without grumble as Giants Key accompanied me until a newer Sword Key finally allowed Giants Key to retire and rest. At least for the time being.
