"Of all, clockmakers and morticians should bear the keenest sense of priority-their lives daily spent in observance of the unflagging procession of time... and the end thereof." -DAVID PARKIN'S DIARY. JANUARY 3, 1901 So begins Timepiece, the unforgettable story of hope and the source of the wisdom MaryAnne Parkin shared with Richard in The Christmas Box. With the help of David Parkin's diary, Richard discovers the mystery of the timepiece and the significance of MaryAnne's request. Nineteen years previous, only eleven days before her death, MaryAnne Parkin had bequeathed a beautiful rose-gold timepiece to my keeping. "The day before you give Jenna away," she had said, her voice trembling as she handed me the heirloom, "give this to her for the gift." I was puzzled by her choice of words. "Her wedding gift?" I asked. She looked at me sadly, then forced a fragile smile. "You will know what I mean."

Pickpick

I have a collection of Richard Paul Evans books to read this month so I‘m down for some short stories of love through trial. This one worked for me mostly. But darn, the little life of Andrea read more tragic than the story necessitated. Still a pick because he tells his stories beautifully.

The most consequential of life's episodes often begin with the simplest of events.

Is this life, to grasp joy only to fear its escape? The price of happiness is the risk of losing it.

I find myself astonished at mankind's persistent yet vain attempts to escape the certainty of oblivion; expressed in nothing less than the ancient pyramids and by nothing more than a stick in a child's hand, etching a name into a freshly poured sidewalk. To leave our mark in the unset concrete of time--something to say we existed.

#marchintoreading #guiltypleasure I promised myself I would be good and not add any books to my tbr since we are moving in a few months but ..... book hauls are my guilty pleasure. I add more books each month than I can possibly read. @RealLifeReading
