DADDY'S CHAIR
As a child I would scramble into my father's lap when he sat on his old wooden chair. Here, he told stories of his younger days when he had traveled the US and Canada. When he died, his chair became a symbol to his family. Though any one else would consider it just an ugly, old wooden chair, I thought of it as a throne from which my father had ruled his kingdom.
