A Little Letter and Some Pictures

I have been hit by the organization bug. Thank goodness though, because my house is in some serious need of TLC. Today I condensed 3 tubs of my stuff into 1! Bret will not believe it when he gets home. I had a blast going through some old pictures from middle school, high school and college. They brought back so many memories, some bittersweet, some made me giggle and others made me cry.

I touched things that now have more meaning since some of these things are from or belonged to people have left this earth; my grandparents, a friend from middle school and most recently my dearest Ester or Sue.

I came across this little note from my Grandma Georgie, my moms mom, and laughed at what she had written and mailed just to me.

Dear Alicen,
I'm so happy you sing so well - Do you sing at home when you're helping your mother? I hope so -
Love,
Grandma George

I really hope that my mom sends letters like these to my kids one day.

I dont know how I reacted when I got this letter. I am sure I rolled my eyes, thinking I was the best daughter my mother had, and didn't need to sing while I slaved for my mom. Now I wish she was around still to send this to my sister (9).
