What can you tell me about this chair?
I remember climbing on the back of it and combing dads hair.
I remember it always being in the kitchen in the corner by the refrigerator.
Grandma sitting in it in the morning after dad had gone to work and being in it all day, working on her braided rugs. Or sitting across from me while i was learning how to make a cake and telling me what not to do. We always called it Grandma's chair. But really it is the family chair.
I remember when dad passed away and Terence, Mondie and I came home, mom was sitting in this chair crying and we all gatherd around her and hugged her and cried so hard.
I remember dad sitting in this chair and mom coming and sitting on his lap.
I start to cry now just remembering the memories of "Grandma's chair".
What memories can you share of this chair?
I would love to hear about it.
Please share!

Wow, this made me get a little teary. Just last night I was looking at that pis of great grandma that you sent me, and thought "wow, that chair has been around for a while." I don't know if I have a specific memory of that chair, I just remember it always being there. Thanks for sharing. Love you!!

I have to say that I got a little teary eyed as well. I remember the same thing Cheli remembers...Grandpa sitting there sharing his cherries. I also remember whenever Uncle Herman left the living room and would enter the kitchen that is the chair he would sit in. MEMORIES!
