Just Powers

For today’s Some/Thing theme, Something Borrowed — in honor of Freedom to Marry Week – I give you a picture of Emma and a chair that my grandmother, Emma’s great-grandmother, first got when she was a small girl. My Uncle Tim and Gram colluded to give this to Emma for Christmas this year and while she is a little young to fully appreciate it, I am moved by it every time I look at it. We don’t let her sit it on, since we would like it to last beyond Emma’s childhood, but it sits in her room providing respite for various and sundry stuffed animals. I love seeing the chair in her room, it makes me feel connected to the generations that went before me and the ones that will come after.
