I just helped a young woman load my dining room table into her car. this piece of furniture was a hand me down from my parents and the table I grew up with in their home. out of everything I have sold/given away for this move, the table was the hardest to let go of. I will always remember 18+ years of family meals, and a solid, sturdy surface for homework and crafts. birthdays and holidays. game nights, learning how to put on makeup, weekend card making parties with my mom, discussing family matters and concerns. most recently it was a great place to pile clean and folded clothes. I don't get attached to many material items, but I am going to miss that table.
