The other day I went through one of my boxes of keepsakes trying to find a specific old photo. I didn’t find what I was looking for, but I stumbled across a few other things, and some of them made me weepy. I ended up abandoning my to do list and having a good cry instead. Then I went to Target and invested in a fresh stick of waterproof eyeliner.
Here are some of the things I stumbled across:
-Multiple cards from someone I am no longer friends with (I couldn’t bring myself to read them)
-This photo
-James (as in a portion of my brother’s ashes in a tiny urn)
-A note in Nicky’s childhood scribble that says, “I love you Mommy!”
This isn't the note, but finding the note made me remember this painted piece of wood in the garage and made me go out to hunt for it
- Instructions my grandma wrote down for knitting dishcloths
My box made me miss people. My grandpa, my friend, my brother, Nicky, and my grandma. And that box was only the size of a pair of shoes. I can't imagine what would happen if I started digging through one of my bigger boxes! I'll have to save that for another day when I'm fully stocked in waterproof makeup products.
