Writing on the Window
Breathing on the Glass
My mother in law was going through her stuff and she found a ton of wallets that she doesn’t use any more, so she gave them to me. I have no idea what I’m going to do with this many but I do know one is vintage Coach, before the company got sold, and one is Dooney and Bourke and was only used once.
Right now, I’m using the brown one on the left, that looks like it has writing on it. Really, it’s a world map/postage on it and it’s awesome. It reminds me of something they’d have in Anthropologie.
It’s been a long couple of days.
My grandma’s wake was Wednesday and as soon as I saw her I broke down into an ugly crying mess. I had to go outside to find some sort of composure. She looked beautiful in her blue dress. My grandpa tried to hold it together as best as he could but every so often, that tough old man couldn’t keep it in and he’d start to cry and that broke my heart even more. SO many people came. I’ve never seen prayer cards run out before but they did. She was very loved.
Thursday we went back to the funeral parlor and the immediate family said goodbye and went to the church for her Christian burial service.
