Kimo? Huh. I'm paused there. I see this won so my 'huh' isn't a reflection on your skill, but my ignorance about Kimo! Plus, don't ask me which one, as a Libra, I'd need all day to decide. Enjoyed it, pause and all ... CayCay

Lovely imagery, reminds me of a relative allowing a young girl to have one piece. She will always feel great love for whatever she chooses because of the memory of that special moment together. Beautiful writing Jan:) lynnxxx

Jan, what a profound feeling - somebody's things when they are gone.

April 7, 2017 at 1:37 PM

I went to a funeral today Doug it was sad going back to the house and seeing all his treasured possessions that will probably end up being disposed of to auction or a charity shop:-( hugs jan xx

April 2, 2017 at 9:48 AM

Hi Jan, What a beautiful sentimental write. Would it be unfair for her to choose them all? I wish you the best of luck in the contest:-) Alexis

April 7, 2017 at 1:38 PM

I pictured a young girl being able to choose something that granny used to wear:-) hugs jan xx
