What does a clock mean to your family?

Can you believe this, a clock is only one of two pieces of furniture that the kids will fight about when parents pass on their heirloom furniture?  A clock not only tells the time of day, but over time it will integrate itself into the family structure and home.  Each tick of the clock creates a heartbeat, and brings warmth and life to a home.  The chimes produce a soothing and comfortable familiarity to the soul each time it tolls.  No other piece of furniture can do that and that is why we love our clocks.
