Today, Jim took my green recliner to Kyle. He is taking it to college with him. I was sad to see it go. No, not the recliner. I am not into material things. It was the memory of the green recliner. The reminder of just how much of my life is gone. Jim bought that chair for me when Jonathan was born. I have sat many nights in that chair feeding both boys and rocking them back to sleep. Thinking to myself will they ever grow up. Now, I am moving the chair out, 13 years later, and thinking, where did all the time go?
When you stop to think about it, the chair has a life of it's on. What memories will Kyle have with it? I do know this, he will get rid of it one day and when he does, he will stop and reflect on all the times he had in college with the green recliner.....
