i wouldn't part with it for anything .............................. this chair ......................... the journey it has taken with me since 6th grade ............................... the yr. my parents built our new ..... limestone split level house 
it was an ordinary day of off to school on the bus ........................... not knowing the surprise that awaited me .................................. mom & granny had worked all day decorating my bedroom ................................ purple & lavender .............................. curtains ................ bedspread .................... and this chair upholstered in matching fabric .............................. what makes it even more special, this was my favorite chair to sit in at granny's grocery store ......................... at one time it had been a rocker, but the rockers were long gone ................................. i love the creak it has when you sit or move ever so gently ............... the precious memories for many reasons ............................... i know now how hard they must have worked for the surprise .................... how much fun they must have had ......... the giggles shared.......the stories told that day .............................. oh the joy in the simple things................. this chair!
....................................................... i am blessed!
