Special Memories

I carry them with me.


The oldest one is handwritten note from my grandfather. My grandparents gave me a watch for high school graduation and my grandfather wrote me a note on his special notepad telling me to think about him when I wore it.


When Jaclyn was 8 years old, she visited my office. I left her sitting at my desk for a few minutes and came back to a handwritten note thanking me for bringing her in and saying how much fun she was having “fileing”.


On green construction paper, Eric told me I was “the best mom and deserved a special day”. I carry that one too going back more than ten years.


I won’t bore you with excerpts from all of them. But I will share that my special memories are with me all the time.


Do you carry a special memory?

I have special notes I saved and some I display around the office. Other I "preserve" encased in vinyl, some in photo album like books. Certain things, particularly things I wrote find their way to the web, often my own site. Ditto certain photos, some of which reside also on my phone. One memory (maybe more) got memorialized in space like this.

I wear mu mom's wedding band on my right hand and I have my dad's Greek worry beads in my desk drawer. I use the worry beads often.

I have a special note from Ariel, so eloquent and heartfelt, written on mother's day after a year of recovery from a rare, near fatal cardiac event. Her "best Mom and best friend" and looking forward to the years we'd spend together. Overwhelms me every time. I inherited her jewelry, mostly not precious, but every time I wear a piece, I feel as though she is even closer.
