Packing Up Memories

We opened the boxes
And started taking things off the walls
And out of drawers.
So many little moments came to mind.
I found a picture
Of me, Eric, Jacoba, Courney, and Dad
Outside building the tree house
When I was about seven years old.
I found my parent's wedding pictures,
And I remember a time
When I would never have guessed
That those would be torn apart.
But the one thing I never thought I'd find
Was my favorite book as a little kid:
Goodnight Moon, the one that
My dad would read to me every night before bed.
I opened it to the first page
And found the mouse,
Just as I....
Drifted off to sleep.

One day you can read to your child from the book knowing that in a way your Dad is also there reading to them. It is something to cherish forever. Memories are beautiful pictures that never fade.
Love,

Goodnight Moon, the one that
My dad would read to me every night before bed.
