I am sure the pink sweater will always remind one of fond memories - well penned Senryu my friend. Blessings, Jennifer.

Thanks Jennifer. Sometimes objects connect us inexplicably to the past. I have clippers from my Gandfather. When I use and hold them I feel connected to him. Even the smell of clipper oil transports me back in time to his barbershop.
