Bracelets

 I now have one of Dads bracelets. Wearing a gold bracelet is not a way I think of him. But I have memories of him wearing it decades ago. 

This bracelet has weight. It’s a living trigger to memories of him.  It’s knowing his skin touched it, even wore away a bit.  My mind has a reminder as I wear it, on the edges of my day, reminding me of being loved.
