| Sue Spitulnik Jan 7 | The boy was often left to his own devices while Mummy sewed extravagant dresses and coats for the elite. He couldn't help being jealous of the beautiful clothes and fasteners. One day, she was working on a new wool coat that was to have soft red velvet-covered buttons. He nicked one when he was sent from the room, which caused a big to-do since there were no extras. Years later, when his mother passed, the man tucked the thread-bare button inside her hand while she lay in her coffin. "I'm sorry. I needed a part of you with me."
