Enter Poem or Quote (Required)Required This is very close to a true story... My wife and I were sitting in a real old high school gym, halfway up the bleachers, at a small town antique sale, When, just behind us, we would notice…perched up near the top…a frail and dainty lady, looking sad and rather pale. My wife continued peeking back (discreetly) when she could, and took my hand and squeezed it tightly, trying not to stare. We both could see the sorrow and the sadness in her eyes. Our hearts were moved to see her in a state of such despair. Soon a younger man approached and climbed to sit beside her. He threw an arm around her back and gently stroked her cheek. The weak and quivering woman slowly rolled into his arms, and, in a soft and trembling voice, she’d lift her head and speak. “I can barely stand to watch. This really breaks my heart. I wish I’d never lived to see this Godforsaken day. I’m sitting here and watching as my very life is sold. It really hurts to see the things you cherish - hauled away. “That old bed is actually where your dad and I were born, and it just sold for twenty-seven dollars! What a shame. And if you pull the bottom dresser drawer from that one there, you’ll see where…on the underside…your daddy carved his name. “He was such a rascal, but he always was polite. The girls all loved his curly hair and shiny, hazel eyes. And when he met your mother at a picnic in the park, and told us that he’d found his bride…it came as no surprise. “Oh my goodness…now they’re selling all my pretty plates. What I wouldn’t give to cook just one more Christmas meal. All the family came for Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving. I simply can’t explain to you the way this makes me feel. “To watch the things I’ve loved for years…that mean so very much…being sold this way is more than I can stand to see. I’m not upset about the move at all…I know it’s time…and I know I’ll be happy in the place you found for me… “I only wish that I could keep a few more special things. Things that I grew up with, and it breaks my heart to lose.” “Granny…there’s no need to cry…things will be OK,” her grandson proudly told her, “and I’ve got some real good news. “We knew what you’d want to keep when it came time to move - and we’re all here today to guarantee that…when you did… Everything you loved the most would actually…not be sold! For everything you’ve talked about…the family’s won the bid! “Selling unimportant things was just a way to raise extra funds that you can use to buy the things you’ll need. But we knew what you loved the most…and that’s why we’re all here…‘cause keeping them as hand-me-downs was what we all agreed “Should be done - and, so - we did…and when the sale is over…you will be amazed at what the family bought from you… Or, should I say…bought for you. Nothing precious got away. We know how much you love them…and, of course…we love them too!” PS: I've now got 4 new Audio-CDs - @ 4 1/2 hours each = (62 diversely varied pieces).
