Your estate, organized by spoons, sweaters, silver. I’ll finish the fusilli ($1) you planned on eating later. I’ll wear your motorcycle goggles ($10) while washing my new tea cups ($4), then hang a tile, painted with moon, stars, and love for you when I was six ($.50).
All good buys.
This is Alexandra’s tenth fifty-word story. She wishes death could always be preceded by goodbyes.
Lovely. Spending Thanksgiving with my newly widowed Mom and looking through boxes of my Dad’s belongings. I really feel close to this story. Thank you.
Perfect example of how in just 50 words you can be emotionally moved. It was the mention of the craft made as a child for the deceased relative that really tugged at my heart.
