Momentos.....

In my room sits a drafting table that my great uncle used to keep records of his cattle on and in, an upright piano that my grandmother helped purchase for me to take piano lessons, a chair that belonged to my great grandmother that died of cancer when I was 6 weeks old, and a stone with a butterfly carved into it purchased by my husband for me while we were dating as a happy....and it made me happy.

I look around my life and find momentos. Momentos of another time and place that brings back memories.

I hope to pass on these momentos to my children, teaching them their heritage thru my memories....and leaving them with momentos of their own.

I hope to make a lifetime full of memories for them and with them....and that the momentos of these memories that we make....remind them to be happy.

This is so sweet! Glad you are someone that finds joy in such things. I'm sure your kids will find those things precious too.

I love that you have that stuff. Not only is it convenient, but it's seriously a part of your family's history.

Only thing I have is a hastily-put-together bookshelf that my dad made. But hey, whatever, it'll last for a long time.
