Monday 3rd April
Dad was going through some coats
Hanging in the hallway
Coming across your winter one
That you wore on a cold day
He felt inside the pockets
Something you’d hidden away
A packet of M and M’s
And five pounds from your pay
It made us smile for a while
Then came sadness and dismay
Little things that mean so much
We come across them everyday
Wish you were still here with us
Love you more than words can say

That is so sweet! I think it’s a message ❤

Thank you.
We really didn’t know he’d hidden away the money and those sweets. They have been in his coat pocket for over two years.
We are keeping that five pound note safe.

Moving. It’s curious what people hold in their pockets.

Thank you.
Yes, it really is.
I thought I had washed his coat, and so it was surprising to find his little treasures.

But a treasure is a good thing, even if it gave you a little jolt? X

So very true.
And it did make us stop for a while, and think……what had he planned to buy? how long had it been there? when did he last wear the coat?
But a lovely treasure, nonetheless.

It’s like he stopped in to say, “I’m all right.”

That’s so kind of you to say so.
What a lovely interpretation.
I’ll hold on to that.

A number of years ago, in August, a near friend passed away, cancer. I was given her toasty winter coat as I didn’t have a proper one. I hung it in the closet but didn’t touch it until cold weather set in, months later. In one pocket, I found the car keys everyone had been searching for. It was like I could hear her laughing and saying, “Took you long enough.” Going on eight years and I still miss her, still think of things I want to tell her, share with her. Thoughts of her make me smile. ❤

Such a lovely story. One to treasure and certainly smile about.
And yes, there is still so much left to say or do.
Thank you for sharing.
