Clocks guide a life from Big Ben to Baby Ben
A reflective memoir traces clocks from Mama’s Big Ben to a Baby Ben, through marriages, moves, and milestones. The author recalls how clocks marked daily life, college days, and family moments, ending with a loosening from schedule as time ages with wisdom. The piece closes with a quotation about counting days beyond clocks.
