As some of you all already know, my mama passed away a year ago. My dad had given me some boxes with their personal belongings. Well, I finally got enough strength to go through them and come across this little crochet hook. It looked to be hand carved. I called my dad and asked him about it. He told me that it was a crochet hook that he had carved for his mother when he was a little boy. She had some rags that she wanted to make a rug with, but did not have a hook. So he went out and found a sturdy piece of wood and carved one for her.

What a lovely family keepsake. I believe that things like that have a lot of family 'spiritual DNA' and I hope it brings you happiness when you look at it!
I just reread this and thought "wow, no wonder people think I'm weird!"

my mother, father, and half sister all past away a few years back one right after another.  believe it or not my mom passed on thanksgiving night, my half sister the the christmas day before that ... so the holiday time is really odd for me.

I have a few treasured keepsakes, my mom used to crochet too.  I have two blankets she made.  I wish you well dealing with it.  I still struggle a lot with missing my mom.  Elvis loved his mother.  I was close to her as we were both artists too.  I really look forward to seeing her in heaven when I get to leave here.  I got to be with her right up to her last breath, and it was good to see her go in a way because cancer had reduced her to 70 pounds. 

still what can I say, I'm just not the same without her.  I miss her.  To post something like a hand carved crochet hook, you show how dear your mom was to you too. 

to our moms... we love and miss you.... :pray:
