This week’s challenge was to capture a moment, person, place or thing, that tells a story….
It only took a “split second” for this to happen…
And when it did, not only did the cup break, but my heart broke just a little too.
A special gift, from a special person. My daughter.
Gone, in just a split second.

Sad, but a true interpretation of this week’s challenge. Sorry you lost your cup; hope you mend soon.
Me too. It was a very sad moment. But I’m ok. Thanks for the encouragement :).
Oh how I know this split-second!!! 🙂
Isn’t it a sickening feeling? Especially when it was a gift 😦
Oh well, like you said, it’s a great reminder….and life goes on.
p.s. Mend it with glue and then put it in a special place where you can see it but don’t use it. A reminder of just how fragile life is.
Oh, what a good idea. I wish I would have done that with this one. It’s already in the trash. However,…would you believe I have another cup that she gave me that I managed to break as well?! That one, I did glue it back together and it sits on my desk and holds pens and pencils 🙂
You are so right…life is very fragile, and every little reminder helps.
I totally agree with Life&Ink’s comment!
Even though this is a great rendition of the photo challenge, I just can’t hit the ‘like’ button because I don’t like that you broke a gift from your daughter. 😦 It’s happened so often to me too. I guess that’s where the old saying, “It’s the thought that counts” really fits.
What a lovely teacup! I’ve broken beautiful things too, but it’s better to have used them than to just let them sit on the shelf. It’s a beautiful photo too. You should frame the picture as a reminder. 🙂
Awesome as always! Makes me want to fly over with some super glue and some Chamomile to calm you.
Thank you Monique! The cup is long gone, but I would love to share a cup of tea with you. Come on over! 🙂

It’s too bad that china cups are not as strong as the mother/daughter bond. Hugs.

Awww…. Although it’s a great image for the challenge, I’m so sorry it happened. ((hug))
