Saturday PhotoHunt - In Memory

IN MEMORY

The now deceased friend who gave me this bentwood rocker,

a Wal-Mart special, because I regretted not purchasing

an original designed bentwood rocker in Morocco.

My Mother who rocked three children in a green,

covered wire weaved rocker, often two at a time,

and read them Bible stories in the process.

Two unmarried, great aunts (and sisters) who moved to Texas

with my, then infant , Mother, in the early 1900s,

had rocking chairs on the front and back porches,

and inside of their modest home.

My husband's Mother who mothered four children,

under adverse conditions

(and buried one child prematurely).

The Empty Chair-

in familiar rooms,

at family holiday gatherings,

at quilting circles,

of estranged friends or family members,

at coffee klatches,

at bedside of a sick or dying friends,

at wedding receptions,

at group support meetings,

in churches and classrooms,

at fellowship gatherings,

or Life Group meetings.

Is it your chair?

The Painting the wall -

A French watercolor by an unknown Parisian street artist

given me by a French woman who worked with me in

the Navy Exchange Accounting office, Kenitra, Morocco.
