I feel like I have lost a wheel.<br /><br />You are a dear friend.<br />Love you bunches!<br />BeckyBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14082295990536140884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-91162360378622812052018-06-26T20:05:20.404-05:002018-06-26T20:05:20.404-05:00Your wicker sewing basket and thimbles reminded me...Your wicker sewing basket and thimbles reminded me of the sewing treasures I rescued from my grandmother's house before my aunt sold or trashed everything that didn't have material value. I have a little wooden rocking chair that she made in shop class in high school, with a black velvet seat and back cushion for pins and spool holders on the sides for thread. I have a smooshed crocheted chicken pincushion, too. These keepsakes are bittersweet because at first they reminded me of her every time I saw them, but now that she has been gone for nearly 15 years the objects feel more equally mine and hers, with layers of new memories covering over the original significance of the keepsakes, pushing the memories of my grandmother using them farther and farther into the past. I say you should keep Linda's thimble in the sewing basket, right next to yours. You'll definitely never be able to use that thimble so it will remain 100% Linda, hanging out with you in the sewing room for years to come.

I am a retired hospice RN and many of the dying have pet visitations too. I've had to work around "imaginary" pets lying in bed with patients and who am I to say what's real. Remember to be gentle with yourself and now is the time for as much self-care as you can manage. Best wishes.<br />BarbaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
