The hat

The hat,
The hat that Mom made me,
The hat that Mom made me and I hated,
The hat that Mom made me and I would take off at the end of the street as soon as I was out of sight,
The hat that Mom made me that I found in her house after she had died, sitting in a drawer all by itself.
The hat that Mom made me that made me cry when I saw it again 30 + years later.
The hat that Mom made me that is now one of my most treasured possessions.
The hat that I have worn several times now since i found it again and I realize how warm and cozy it is and how much love and care my Mom put into making it for me. Thank you Mom. I wish I'd appreciated it earlier.
