A collection of dollar bills…yes one dollar bills a memory in itself.All signed by friends with bets on sporting events and or a gift of good luck and safe miles for a new vehicle.It must have been the thing to do back then as she had many….and also a habit  that I inherited and often do today.Rummaging through bags one day I found a very small brown leather wallet. Opening it up with much curiosity it was my moms wallet.A little card peaking out with an emergency contact which wrote “incase of emergency please contact  Maurice Auger ..C&M Textiles”…I felt the chills running through my body as both of them were no longer here.My moms license was amongst the few papers….and I keep this in my drawer and hold it tightly every once in awhile….makes me feel her next to me and makes me wonder what it would have been like to have her .I also treasure photos and most of all my parents wedding album….I sit back and often wonder what life would have been like if their eyes hadn’t  closed so soon…..I did see my mom after she passed and was horrified as they  taped her eyes shut….it scared me.Sadly,I would  have wanted to see my dad in his last minutes as I have no doubt in my mind that something could have been done to save him…..this is definitely for another blog to come..but at the very least to say goodbye..at least .A fond memory  of a painting that once decorated the wall in the home I grew up in  was given to me awhile back by my sister…although it needs some TLC it could be re framed and made a home for one of these days to come.It will be near the clock that back in an earlier blog about the hypnotist had given my mom.It is a beautiful clock that was brought from Lebanon .So these are what I hold on to…and I guess at the end of the day nothing could be more valuable than a photo when the real memories are so foggy……the rest is materialistic so I am now at peace with this.It’s all in the past and nothing could change a thing except for my letting it all go and sharing as I am doing.I thank you for sharing in my journey and allowing this to be whatever it will ….❤️
