I was reading Ranch Wife’s blog the other day and she mentioned reminders of when her kids were small. It’s so hard when our kids are far away but any little reminder brings a smile, which is often followed by tears!
Chad’s Writing
It’s an Orville Wright quote and other quote from someone that I’d rather not share so the magnet is covering up part of it and their name. It is a comical quote but probably not something that person remembers saying or would say again!
The little sheet of paper brings a smile and I wonder . . what was Chad thinking that made him sit down and write both those quotes in a little notebook? He probably was supposed to be writing a paper in college and chose to do something “more constructive”!
He’s a funny boy and I’m so happy to have little reminders that catch my attention and make me smile . . or cry because I miss him and now Nicole and Addie too!

All of my ‘stuff’ is in storage, so for me it’s pictures that I have around the house that I stop to look at and restore memories. Sometimes I just can’t believe how quickly time passed.

I have boxes of reminders and am trying to decide what to do with them. I have already sorted, culled and tossed once. I am thinking of getting them into a book of some sort.

Those little reminders are both pleasant and heartbreaking sometimes
