Memories, What to do with Them?


Boxes and boxes of letters and photos
have followed me through every move I've made in the past
several decades. My sweet husband hands me
a new box every morning to sort.

That means....
yes, I've had to reread every letter and card to
decide if I should keep it.
most of them are from my five children
I'm creating a pile, one for each, where I put the letters
I think they would like to have back
to read and remember
who they were
when they
originally wrote them.
Letters from camp,
letters from college,
letters to me,
letters to each other,
postcards from
exotic places,
photos,
beautiful memories.
 
This is what I'm doing instead of painting,
in case you've wondered.
I am going to
feel so good when
I accomplish this goal.
 
So, kids, get ready for a package in the mail.
