Start.
Memories come vivid, like technicolor flashes at the most surprising times. Never knowing what might trigger one, a sight, a smell, an outing. Doing something with the kids.
The smell of lemony body wash in the shower, the one I used the day of her funeral. The one I had bought for her last birthday, 2 weeks before she died, never to be used. The wash we found at her house, in the bathtub, along with the last clothes she ever wore, washed and hung there to dry.
The pickle ornament we hang on the tree in December, the way it sparkles all vivid in sunlight. Remembering the days long ago when my sister and me scrambled to find that pickle on the tree in hopes of a small prize, Mom hiding it so delicately in branches of evergreen.
Playing boardgames with the kids, vivid technicolor memories flood in of laughter over Chinese Checkers, mom moving shiny black pegs, fingertips greasy from chips and chocolate milk. Her laughter soaring loud and contagious, like a flock of migrating geese honking their way south.
Vivid memories. Memories to treasure for always.
Stop.

I could relate to many of your memories, especially the pickle ornament. What joy that tiny tradition brings to our house. Thanks for sharing. I'm right behind you! http://www.granolamom4god.com/2012/01/vivid.html
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you could relate to the pickle ornament memory! It's such a fun little thing to do, isn't it? Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteOmg I Finally Got Helped !! I'm so excited right now, I just have to share my testimony on this Forum.. The feeling of being loved takes away so much burden from our shoulders. I had all this but I made a big mistake when I cheated on my wife with another woman and my wife left me for over 4 months after she found out.. I was lonely, sad and devastated. Luckily I was directed to a very powerful spell caster Dr Emu who helped me cast a spell of reconciliation on our Relationship and he brought back my wife and now she loves me far more than ever.. I'm so happy with life now. Thank you so much Dr Emu, kindly Contact Dr Emu Today and get any kind of help you want.. Via Email emutemple@gmail.com or Call/WhatsApp +2347012841542
DeleteI felt like I was there for each of your vivid memories. Hold on to them and smile each time you think of them!
ReplyDeleteThank you--I will most certainly hold them tightly!
DeleteI had to click over when I saw the picture of Chinese Checkers on the Five-Minute-Friday link up. My grandma and I used to play Chinese Checkers ALL the time. I have fond memories of time spent with her while playing this game.
ReplyDeleteWhat a tender, heart-felt post you have so eloquently written. It's vivid. The pickle ornament. The lemony wash.
It's beautiful.
What a wonderful memory to have with your Grandma. :) It's such a fun game--my mom and I would have Chinese Checkers marathons! Thank you so much for your kind words and for visiting!

I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again. If you are going through any relationship stress or you want back your Ex or Divorce husband you can contact his whatsapp +2347012841542 or email emutemple@gmail.com
