Her lips blew the dust off the "amber
baby cup, plate and bowl set" sorrow sunk into her heart. Her daughter
seemed more distant these past few years after the wedding. She received less
phone calls, less visits, and slowly seemed to lose her daughter to her new
husband. The old lady tucked a piece of white hair back into her bun and pushed
her glasses farther up on her nose. The only thing she ever dreamed of is
having grand children. She saved all her "vintage" toys to share with
the toddlers and right when her dream became true, they move hundreds of miles
away. A whole trunk full of "never used" toys seems to be a waste
now. She would never be able to see the smile on their faces as they open and
play with each toy. The "Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme" begins to hum in
her head never being able to hum it to her grand children as they drift off
into sleep. She wonders what could have been different, what could she have
done to change her daughter from moving? Her wrinkled fingers trace the only
picture of her grand daughter and her heart sinks deeper into her chest. She
wanders back downstairs from the attic and drops herself into her tattered
couch. Her eyes wander around the room until landing on the computer. She
slowly approaches the mouse and wiggles it alive. Her fingers sluggishly begin
to type... "Vintage Indiana Tiara Glass (Amber) Baby
cup. Plate & Bowl set. Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme theme. Original box.
Never used. Excellent condition. Label still on plate. Cash only, local

if she can get rid of the pain left in her heart.
