35 years ago I was 5 years old and remember it like it was yesterday. Pap sat in the old thick wooden rocker by the fireplace hands busy with black burlap yarn…making. The warmth and glow of the fire always brought comfort. This memory just the same. This was my Christmas gift. It has traveled with me to 8 different homes…but it always lives in the front room. And like this hobby horse Pap, you are always in my heart.
