Vintage gifts
Apr 20, 2008 | 5:17 AM PST
We took off Sat. and went down to the flea market.I bought a brooch of white coral with green rinestones, a nice gold plated ring and all for five dollars.My grandgaughter Madeline is 10 months old and these little trinkets will some day be hers. You see, I don't care whether something is "real" or not.If it's pretty and shines,I will love it! I have of late ben thinking about the things my children will remember about me, when they look back down the long hall of our lives together. I ask myself what do I wish them to remember. Will it be worth remembering?
Will my daughter Callie see my eyes when she looks in her son Matts eyes? Will she see the love that shone there for her when she was his age? Or will she see the anger, as I spanked her for climbing to the top a of a pine tree when she was ten years old.Or the pride I had for her courage as I helped her give birth.
So many thoughts ...
I think I will write a long letter to each of my children, and put all my gifts there for them to find.

Lovely thoughts. Yes, what will they remember? I try to keep that in mind when my tongue wants to flap. |
