My beloved Sears forever: I'll never forget Sears

This crown jewel of the Canadian retail landscape may have closed its doors forever but I can tell you, my beloved Sears, I'll never forget you.

I spent so many wonderful shopping days in your stores in Montreal and Toronto and I bought all kinds of things from you.  From furniture to exercise equipment and from pots and pans to sheets and comforters to bathroom fixtures to kitchenware.  Everything was so good.

I even bought dolls at Christmas time, a Christmas tree with all of the ornaments, a doll cabinet, and so much more.  I also bought clothes and shoes, slippers, and fall and winter jackets and coats.

It was always so enjoyable to shop at your stores.  Even my mom used to enjoy visiting you.  She and I would spend endless hours shopping, walking, and simply loitering in your facilities.

Now you are gone but you will never be forgotten!  You were part of my life and you will continue to be but now it has to be in my memory!

I'm Donna J. Jodhan, your friendly accessibility advisor, wishing you a terrific day.

My Mother's Day Gift

Each year I usually send my mom flowers and each year it is always the same for me.  I have to phone and order them through Flowers by Sears but good thing that the call takers are always so willing to describe things to me.  Having been able to see before, I have a fair idea in my mind as to what the intentioned bouquet or arrangement would look like.  So 99% of the time, I am successful at sending my mom something that I know she would love.

 

When I had enough vision, I used to be able to look at large pictures of floral arrangements and I never stopped admiring the beautiful shapes, colors, and artistic work.  Now that my vision is not good enough, I set my imagination to work.  Shapes and colors dance in my mind.  They all come to life and I have so much fun imagining my mom receiving them and appreciating them.

 

Ah!  What would I do without my trusted memory and furtive imagination?

Happy Mother's Day my Dearest mom!
