Do you have that favorite set from a while ago? Didn’t get all the pieces way back when?
I’ve wanted this teapot for nearly 30 years; got it. Next up: soup terrain. I had one to the original set but it got swiped– I still growl at the thought of it.
It’s not about the material gain– It’s the memories built around these dishes, the years of family… my father– a gift to me from him. These are special dishes, these are useful dishes.
He’s in every bit of these pieces, these dishes that mean more to me than they do to a lot of people. My father is gone now, he passed away 1 1/2 months ago– already. Time moves fast, but stands still.
I love you, Dad… thanks for the memories, and thank you for these useful dishes.
