Her Shoes
When my husband was
40 years old, his father committed suicide and left a note "take
care of your mother.
And that he did. At age 90 years, it was necessary to put Idie
in a nursing home. Going through her closet, he found a pair of
saddle shoe oxfords which he thought were ugly, so he threw them
away.
Alas, when we went to visit her, that was the first thing she
asked for.
