Life Short. The Daddy Chair

Life IS Strange. The Ultimate Daddy Chair.

Once upon a time, a black recliner sat in the living room.
My then-husband loved it.
So did our two rambunctious children.
Always trying to figure out the laws of gravity.
When he moved out, he took the recliner with him.
Fast forward 50 years.
He is ill. A new recliner keeps him comfortable.
After he dies, our daughter takes the recliner.
It doesn’t fit through her front or back door.
She gives it to me.
And now,  in my living room, once again, sits a black recliner.
Life is strange.
