Unfortunately for my sons, I yik yak non-stop about all my little treasures (endlessly, they'll tell you), so that they will have some meaning, and a story attached to them that can be polished up every once in awhile.<BR/><BR/>Countess MPM: Aw, shucks, you flatter me so.

She couldn't bear to take anything with her that belonged to him except his watch and his army medals. I took a small table and two chairs. I loaned the table to another of our friends, but I still have the chairs. It was hard on her.<BR/><BR/>I also remember many years ago going through my mother's things. I think what got me through that was that I was in shock over her sudden death.<BR/><BR/>I worry about my children having to go through my things. Many of my treasures will mean nothing to them.Memaw's memorieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03551836962653092248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541375927817627360.post-7275348227654494332008-06-05T09:15:00.000-07:002008-06-05T09:15:00.000-07:00Countess D: As tough as this kind of bonding is ,...Countess D: As tough as this kind of bonding is ,I am glad I was there, too.
