Goodbye, Old House: Thank You for the Double Spoon

On this episode of Our American Stories, when Bonnie Brown Rowcliffe prepared to sell her childhood home, she dreaded the moment she would walk through its doors for the last time. Every wall carried the weight of memory, and every room felt like a reminder of her late parents. On her final day in the house, she opened one last cupboard and found something unexpected: her father’s “double spoon,” a small, ordinary object that revealed an extraordinary lesson. In this moving story, Bonnie shares how a simple kitchen utensil became a symbol of connection, comfort, and the quiet ways our parents remain with us even after they’re gone.
