The Sweater

She sits on the rocking chair next to the open window
with her yarn and needle sewing together more then just a sweater
When she stuck the needle through the yarn it also penetrated her mind of
Her very first sweater she got for Christmas when she was four
she didn't like the thick texture tight on her skin and neck which made her feel itchy and hot, And hated the pink reindeer logo on the front as she was a little tomboy then.
But had a big smile across her face when she and her significant other rejoiced hands in the snow on her very first date. He complimented her sweater and that seemed to have stunned her. she didn't believe him.
she thought he was just trying to be sweet, and really thought It was ugly.
She was on her way to vacation to Puerto Rico, so she grabbed her jacket for the chilly plane ride. The people their were so beautiful and generous to her. The music was just as exhilarating as the food and drinks. But most importantly, she enjoyed the warm air comforting her skin.
Her daughter opened one of the presents she gave her and it was a little wind up doll toy that danced every time you'd wind it up. she ran to her mothers arms with joy and love and quickly went to unravel the next present her fater gave her. She uncovered a plain white sweater with ruffles around the neck. She tried it on, and a big smile ran across her face as she raced towards her father. The mother paused during that moment, and just focused on how happy her daughter was. That event grabbed her entire self and spun it like the spinning wheel of yarn next to her rocking chair just by the open window where she reminisce. Sewing together more, way much more then just a sweater.
