The fire burned my home. Every treasure from artwork, to books, to my mother’s diary, to photos, to my father’s briefcase, to creations of my daughters when they were little, to EVERYTHING and just now….a birthday present arrived from my friend, Claudia…..it allowed the tears to flow and my self to scream with sorrow. This will pass. BUT know that what might appear as the smallest tokens of love are not small..they are MIGHTY.
