RIP Alarm Clock

Dear Alarm Clock,

You have been by my bedside for 20+ years. When I think back through the years with you, I get teary. The early mornings of band before school started. The college classes. My first real job. My wedding day. Getting Doodle up for school.

Of course we would sleep in as many Saturdays as we could. You’d play music softly for me each night as I drift off to sleep. You’d wake me up with the same soft music playing. You were never rude with that annoying buzzing sound. Sorry for those mornings when I hit your snooze button a little too hard. You know I’m not a morning person.

You have been an amazing friend for me for many years. I doubt other alarm clocks could work as hard as you did for so long. I’ll totally forgive you for the one day you failed me. Even though it made me miss half my massage I finally scheduled from my Christmas gift. I won’t hold on to any resentment.

So, rest in peace my dear alarm clock. I know I will never be able to replace you.

Much love and sleep,

Lisa
