The 'Loyal' Talking Clock

Mom's talking clock

My mother had a desk 'talking clock' to tell her the time as she had been almost blind during the last decade of her life and couldn't see the numbers. My brother had a modern wrist 'talking watch' . It was on him at the time he collapsed.

Peculiarly, both the clock and the wrist- watch went on telling the time long after the owners had passed away. Nobody changed the existing battery. Mom's clock is still telling the time - seven years after her death. I didn't know a battery could keep that long !

It gives one all kinds of thoughts , especially that there was something else too. the fridge and the airconditioner suddenly stopped working after her decease and couldn't be repaired. The engine was completely dead. it was as if these items "died of a broken heart".

השעון המדבר

שעון מדבר

שעון מצמרר

שעון היד של אחי

שעון שולחני של אמי

השעון הכריז על השעה

זמן רב לאחר הפטירה

פטירתו של אחי

פטירתה של אמי

שעון מדבר

שעון מצמרר

חייו,מסתבר

ארוכים יותר

מחיי אחי

מחיי אמי

Ceas Vorbitor

Ceasul de masa vorbitor

Era obiect foarte folositor

Pentru Mama care nu vedea

Si numai prin el timpul il afla

De culoare gri, solid si aratos

Aducea el  mamei mare folos

Caci ei ora exacta i-o indica

Si cu asta foarte mult o ajuta

Ceasul, de vorbit a continuat

Mult timp dupa ce ea a decedat

Fara ca bateria s-o fi schimbat

Sau ceva la ceas sa fi modificat

Cateodata stau si ma gandesc

Ca sunt sapte ani de la deces

Ceasul vorbitor mai spune ora

Dar nu-l mai poate auzi Mama
