Dino-1, I hope that story made your Thanksgiving as pleasurable as it did mine. It made me remember when I had to go with my parents to clean out my grandmothers house after we put her in a nursing home. She had kept so many keepsakes of her grandchildren. I found my old rocking horse my grandfather carved for me, an old doll I thought I had lost (apparently she put it away for me until the next time I came over but forgot to take it out again) and several of her old diaries from when she was a girl my age. I’m still reading through them and I can’t believe how similar we sound. Thank you for allowing me to remember her and how much I valued who she was, Dino, I appreciate it more then my literary abilities could describe.
