Memories

While I was cleaning out my mother’s home and readying it for sale, I  discovered a shoebox filled with photos, many of which I had never seen before.  I came across this photo which I believe was taken in 1945.  It shows my mother, father, and his sister.  They were all so young!  Now only my mother remains and will be eighty-seven on her next birthday.  I thought it fitting that this memory from happier times, when their futures and the whole wide world lay before them, should be preserved.  I placed it under a layer of mica and sandwiched it between two thin sheets of  fine silver which I then cold connected with brass rivets.  The pendant is suspended by a fine linked sterling chain.  The memory lives on and is now held close to my heart.
