une chaise française

"If you want a happy ending, of course, that depends on where you stop your story."

Orson Welles

The end of the day is a familair routine for her

and a most welcomed one.

Shuffling in slippered feet across the room,

she pauses for a moment and stares

at the French chair.

Standing in silence, the conversation

of thoughts play in her mind.

As the warmth starts to flow through her body,

she turns and makes her way to the stairs.

Each step elevates her soul.

For this is not, just a French chair.

This chair holds something very special.

A symbol of her Mother's love.

It was in this French chair that her mother sat,

(26 years ago), silent to the cancer that ravaged her body.

Wanting to share a joyful moment with her daughter.

Her daughter's new home.

All at the sacrifice of self.

Ghost Chair by Di Overton...Designers Block

At the end of the day,

she always feels her Mother's love.

French chairs are made for holding such things.

for you Toni

Happy Beaujolais Nouveau!
