I remember so clearly the day I bought The dress. A friend and I stopped to look at Penny's and I recall it was the first one I tried on. It was on sale, a good fit, and I Took it home with me. The long straight gown is a deep rich Green with decorative beading at the Waist. Unfortunately, in our wedding picture it Just looks dull and drab. But our marriage was anything but. Jack was my Price Charming, and even When dementia took him down our Love bond was strong. For years the dress has been squished Between my skirts and slacks. But, somehow, today it just seemed out Of place. I removed the gown from the rack and Hugged it to me, reliving the idyllic day When I wore it. I carried the dress to the closet that I Still call Jack's. I pushed it tightly against my groom's Wedding suit. At least our wedding garb can grow old Together. |
