When my father suggested I go with him to buy pearls for my mother, I was shocked.
It was the last thing I expected from him. I was actually a little annoyed that he wanted to go shopping instead of straight to the hospital to see her.
My dad was not a sentimental man. Nor was he a wealthy man. Yet he called to me to come back as I was hurrying us out the door of the jewelry store. “We’ll take these, also,” he said to the proprietor. Many years later, I would wear them on my wedding day. I still keep them in their original black velvet case. After my father died, 40 years ago, I placed my black mourner’s ribbon next to the pearls.“What do you mean you want to go to New York and have a career? Don’t you want to get married and have a family?”
