Old lace

 Worn. 
Broken threads.
Tattered.
Fragile.
Stains of holidays.

So long ago.
So terribly missed.




 
Two others are in the drawer.
The laughter, sharing, family, and holidays held in these threads,
are now silent.
Only memories of long ago.

It's so hard to miss them so much. But I am grateful for all the time I had with them and that I can touch all the things they used and loved. After me they will be gone to thrift stores or worse. Bless you.

My paternal grandmother loved lace tablecloths. They were so intricate and beautiful. Janice

I feel the same way! I have my Grandmothers lace tablecloth that I remember from a child - used for years for thanksgiving and Christmas but no longer have those large gatherings - everyone spread out or gone. Guess I need to get it out for myself to enjoy and not worry about getting it ruined.

Such a lovely tablecloth, Marly! I, too, have many, many old cloths, hankies, table runners from various relatives. The thing is, there is no one left who can tell me who owned these, how old they are, etc. It makes me so sad...
