I carefully went through saving my son's school projects and what meant the most but tossed the rest. I did put all photos in albums and labeled them along with a few scrapbooks I put together. I haven't missed anything yet.Nellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06927983874624510031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772849.post-1158616757430014852006-09-18T17:59:00.000-04:002006-09-18T17:59:00.000-04:00I wish I'd saved more stuff like this.

I do have a few odds and ends that have made it though. Now, I wonder how much better my memory would had I kept more momentos.

I'd have never thrown out a ticket with John Prine's handwritten message on it. He's one of my fav's, too. I used to collect everything. I kept scrapbooks before scrapbooking was popular. Now, at 48, I don't know if it's midlife rearing its ugly head or a body desperately needing HRT, but I can't look at my mementos right now. I get too "emo" thinking about how much time has passed and how my life is half over and I haven't seen Billy Joel in concert yet and who knows how long he's going to be around and...You get the idea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772849.post-1158460463101590372006-09-16T22:34:00.000-04:002006-09-16T22:34:00.000-04:00As I read this, I stared right at one of the drawe...As I read this, I stared right at one of the drawers here that is stuffed with mementos like yours.<BR/><BR/>It's nice to read someone who understands!<BR/><BR/>JimmyLippyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10280795930290894490noreply@blogger.com
