winding the clock.....

this clock is so not me.................but..........has become a part of me..................................my Mom's prized possession...............i remember when she saved for it................when she would pull the weights with her white cotton gloves.....................took such care to protect & keep it safe........................i now am entrusted to it's care..........although, i do not use the cotton gloves.....but..............when i open the door to pull the weights, i can still smell "home"......(that)... is the care.....the safety....that i will protect and honor in the memory of her & memories of home.......
...................................................... i am blessed !

Oh my goodness...I saw the clock and had to peek....It looks very similar to "our" clock...SOOO not me - and I've threatened to replace it with a narrow chimney cupboard or such...but it, too, holds memories. My husband bought it for his mother and it, too, was her prized possession. So when she passed, she wanted him to have it. Memories truly do weave the fabric of our lives....Thanks for the smile today....Smiles & Hugs ~ Rboin
