Here are a couple of treasures that I kept of my mom. I’m honestly not sure how long she had these items, but I remember her telling me a story about the two bookends given to her by, I believe, one of her aunts many years ago. I remember seeing the mirror when I was younger and always admired it from afar. I have this mirror sitting out at my makeup vanity, and I often use it even though I have a larger mirror with lights. It brings a smile and comfort to my heart that I cannot express.
My mom treasured the bookends, and she always had them displayed in one way, shape, or form through the years. I remember I had moved them once, and I accidentally dropped one of them, as you can see. My heart stopped, and I was sure I would get in trouble. I confessed that I broke it, and I think I tried to get my dad to glue it back together, but as you can see, it did not work very well. I set them back on the shelf and did not touch them until after she passed. I keep them displayed in the living room with my books. For some reason, I do not want to repair the break just yet. For now, I will continue to admire these, too, because, despite the break, they are in good hands.
