Of course, I have several of momma’s things that I wear on a regular basis. I have her rings and a mother’s bracelet with mine and Neall’s names on it. Daddy had a extra strand added to it for me with “Emmy Ruth” on it and I wear it a lot of the time too. Sometimes, I will move my arm just right and a memory of mom will flash through my mind—of her standing there talking to someone, using her hands as she often did, being so expressive and full of life. Those are some of my most favorite memories and moments. And a lot of the still shots of momma that I have in my mind are of her when she was so thin, wearing her sterling jewelry, flitting around town, wearing a denim jacket. I am not sure why that jacket has stuck out in my mind so much when I remember her but it has. So, Wednesday the weather was getting a little chillier and Emmy wore her denim jacket to the babysitters and I thought of momma.
