That Comforting Sound
Many a time I have been in a crowd of people, at the church, swap meet, grocery store, etc. looking for my Mom. But if I could hear that sound, that familiar comforting sound, I knew that my Mom was nearby. I know that if I could make that sound now each of my brothers and sisters would know exactly what it is that I am talking about. The sound that I am referring to, is the sound of an over-sized Indian penny key-chain. As long as I can remember my Mom has had that penny on her key chain. Whenever we heard that key-chain we would head for Mom (unless we were in trouble). To some that might sound foolish (being that it is just a penny) but for me it is the sound of comfort. It is the sound of my Mom nearby. When I hear that unique sound, I know that my Mom is close and it is comforting. I love you Mom.

YES! Totally, totally true. I loved hearing that penny, it was always comforting like you said, like taking a deep breath and relaxing and knowing that mom was there and all was well. Mom do you still have it?
ReplyDeleteI still have it and keys are on it. I use it all the time. These days when your Dad hears it he wants to know where I am going. It's a great key ring that I plan on using until it breaks because it is so easy to find my keys in my messy purse because you can hear them.
