Here's the toque. Nothing exciting, right?
But look a little closer.
My mom's short, gray hair. Something. Do I put this toque in my `mom box' so I have that hair for as long as possible? You betcha. It's crazy how that little hair likely evokes nothing in you, but to me, it makes me have a lump in my throat.
And, in other news..Happy Canada Day and happy 4th birthday to my dad. In 2005, he had a heart attack and his heart stopped. They had to bring him back with the paddles. He now considers today his new birthday.
I remember that time 4 years ago, hearing about your Dad, knowing you & Gary were out of reach in the woods somewhere, and we were praying and praying for your Dad. Happy Birthday Jack!
ReplyDeleteThe picture of the hair gives me a lump in my throat too. That is a wonderful find, Louise.
ReplyDeleteHey Louise, I must confess that I sneak to your blog once and awhile from a link of Marias blog. I like to see whats happening in your life. Everytime I read what you wrote about your mom, I want to cry. Just seeing that hair brings tears to my eyes because I feel for you. When your mom just died, I cried at home for you. I phoned my sister Pauline and we both cried on the phone for you and your sister Maria and your family. What a loss. A part of your life must always seem empty. Especially with having kids now to. Anyways, I just wanted to tell you that I feel for you and what a special treasure of a strand of hair.
