..... when I rec'd a pkg I had no idea whatsoever was being sent to me. Tears stung as I leafed thru' it (your first hint) & found what I think was a poem I may have written when I was a little girl - & some of both my mom & dad's handwriting - & misc. bulletin inserts, an article clipping, notes, etc.
What I found inside the pkg... was a Bible that had belonged to my father. Apparently my mom had given it to him for Christmas in 1966 (2 yrs before I was born). I was 14 when he died after battling cancer for about 4 yrs.
I shared what I'd received w/ my daughter - and as memories flooded my mind, tears are what poured out.
