Three Things
What three things would you grab for keeps if you could only take three (let's say a house fire or whatever). It can't be people or pets and it has to be your belongings (not the kids' stuff).
I would first take our laptop because that has more information/photos than a photo album anymore. Anyone remember those?
Then I'd grab our safe because presumably, that's where the important things are. Really, I would.
Finally, I think I'd take a little music box that is in Keeton's room. It's a cheap plastic thing that is a bit broken, purchased in a gas station someplace. It was my Papa's and I can remember so vividly him getting it out of his master closet when we'd visit, winding it up, and letting us watch the little boy and girl dance around and finally peck each other on the lips. Just holds great memories.
You?

Hmmm, I think I would grab my laptop, my phone and passports...Isn't the safe suppose to be fireproof? I thought that was the point of putting it in the safe...I may have to rethink this! :-) And do I already have my wedding rings on? :-) x0
ReplyDeleteI can so clearly remember Papa getting that music box out of their closet too. We literally watched ourselves, watching him reach up to the very top shelf of their closet to get it, because the closet had mirrored doors. I always thought it was so special, because they kept it in its box, which implied to a kid, that this is something expensive, or important, and only to be "played" with if an adult is watching. Funny how so many fond memories are tied to that plastic music box.
ReplyDeleteThanks for making me pause for a few minutes tonight to not only remember Papa, but really think about him and how much he loved all of us!
