Things I hold dear to my heart for years



I have oodles of old papers from my children's young years, all in boxes. I saved them for times like these.
It reminds me of the truth, because children usually tell the blatent truth. I have tried many times to wean through these boxes but I just can't bring myself to throw not even one piece away. I've thought of scrapbooking them  and a few special drawings I have framed. Do you save your children's work? It's priceless to read with a hot cup of tea in hand and complete quiet.

Written to me by Brandon in 1995 in a school journal book assignment and will be saved forever

Hope your Friday, the beginning of a Mother's Day weekend is special.

  1. Beutiful. Thanks for sharing. You've made me tear up. I have a 20 month old that is the most amazing thing in my life, and I am about to deliver my second baby girl any day now. Spring and Mother's day, what a perfect time of year.
    Have a wonderful weekend. Happy Mother's Day
