This is my post for #freewriters Sunday prompt expensive purse hosted by @mariannewest
A few weeks ago I went with my sister to pick up my late brother's wife from Jacksonville, she wanted to come down here and spend some time away from where her son moved her to, which is his place, he put her camper in his back yard and she lives in it. She does not like it there and the move was too soon after my brother's death.
She did not get the time to mourn and 3 weeks later, she was being moved across the state. Everything in her home was divided between her children or thrown away and her home is for sale. Her oldest son got power of attorney over all of her and her affairs. He did this because two years ago she had a stroke, but the only lasting effect is she can not say the words that she wants to say. She gets words mixed up. But her son sees her as an invalid.
I got off course here, anyway, on our way up there I noticed my sister's expensive purse and snapped a photo of it, I asked her about it because I know that she could not afford to buy a purse like that, not on making 11 dollars an hour and only working 24 hours a week. She said her oldest son bought it for her for Christmas.
I had not noticed that it was a Coach purse. She asked me to get toll money from it and when I unzipped it, I was amazed at how nice the zipper was, I have never had a purse with such a fine zipper. Other than the zipper, I can not tell you much about it other than it was green. Personally, I would rather have the money that it cost in my thrift store purse with the crappy zipper.
