I have been cleaning out the library. In addition to the books of my life, I have
kept a little reminder of the significant people in my life on display in
between the manuscripts. Every so often
I take time to look at each of them or pick it up and let my mind go to a story
connected to the person.,, my Dad’s cigar holder, my Mom’s old Brownie Camera
and purple tam, my own track trophy…..
On the wall of my office is a set of picture frames with similar mementoes…Chuck’s
Boy Scout hat, a picture of my therapy dog wearing my glasses….. and in my heart I keep a little “box” of
special people, places, and things. When
I first put my treasure in the box, it is bright and shiny and sometimes it has
corners for it hurts to touch… but over time… there is more room in my heart
box for some things fade and some get smaller with time.. and some will always
be shiny and bright and prickle when I touch them. I might not keep up with where everyone is
today, but there is still a special spot in my heart box and I think of them on
special days…and it is all good.
