One of my favorite blogs to read is Rosie.com, which is Rosie O’Donnell’s blog. The other day she wrote about her mother’s death and how her strongest memory is her mother’s bathrobe that she wore. It touched me because my mother recently passed away. The day after reading her blog, I was going through a tin of buttons that had been my mothers. My daughter loves to glue and she wanted to glue buttons. So, I was going through the buttons and there, among all the other nondescript buttons, was my mother’s old bathrobe button! I couldn’t believe it..what memories it brought back! Maybe if I hadn’t just read Rosie’s blog entry….maybe that button wouldn’t have hit me like it did…but I think not….that button is unique and I hadn’t seen it in a very long time! It was from a bathrobe my mother had when I was a child…goldish in color..but with bright, big diamond looking buttons. As a child, I loved that bathrobe and I loved those buttons!
