“Mommy?”
“Yes Ronnie.” Kate looked down at her daughter Veronica. She had been watching her intently as she got ready for her date with her husband Tom.
“Can I wear your pearls someday?” Kate smiled as she touched her necklace and remembered the day when Tom gave them to her.
“Yes, when your old enough, you can wear them” Ronnie smiled big, swinging her feet off the edge of the bed. She had been such a girlie girl always watching her mother get ready wanting to try some eye shadow or a touch of perfume. She was enthralled with trying her mother’s jewelry on and playing dress up. They would do that from time to time. Sometimes having a tea party to show off their elegant creations. Mr. Bear and Ms. Molly loved to join them too, though they didn’t eat very much.
“Goodie, I want to be pretty just like you.”
“Oh Ronnie, you are beautiful just the way you are, you don’t need jewelry to make you prettier.” She knelt down held Ronnie’s chin in her hands and kissed her forehead. “Now go brush your teeth so you’re ready for Sara when she gets here.”
“Alright...” She watched Veronica walk out the door and heard the bathroom door shut. She was truly blessed with a wonderful family. She touched the pearls once more...remembering that day.
This was inspired by one of Jills photos last week. It's going to be a really short story...to be continued tomorrow. :) enjoy!
