Treasure The Memories

---

This daughter of mine…

DC gal…teacher extraordinaire…cat mom…sent a photo…a funny photo…a photo that made that mother of hers smile…

Doing a project…a painting on canvas project…stepped away and came back to find footprints…tiny little white footprints on the hardwood floor…

Only two of them in the room…one knew she didn’t do it…the other wouldn’t own it…but the evidence was clear who made the choice to walk though wet paint…

Made that mother of hers remember a day…a move to the new neighborhood day…a being greeted my new friends day…little kitty footprints on the back steps day…

One of us owning it…proudly…the other one never to learn whose gray paint job had been interrupted…but years later that little Roddy Piper footprint remains, more special today than yesterday…

And so it is…those little treasures our loved ones leave behind…the drawings…the notes…the little kitty paw prints…

Precious memories…sweet memories…memories to warm an old gal’s heart forever…

And this husband of mine…agrees…
