handful of love



Mom has always had beautiful hands with long tapered fingers. She used those hands picking cotton throughout childhood. When I was 2 or 3 years old, she went out and picked cotton to earn enough money to buy me a new pair of shoes.

Those hands taught me how to peel and devein shrimp. Those hands also washed and folded my laundry for me. (Funny part was I had already washed the clothes and just dropped the basket while I ran to the store! LOL) Those hands locked the backdoor screen so Woody would go home and have dinner at our house instead of eating at his mama's table.
