Day 4: Letterbox
We all have them – boxes filled with mementos of good times past. Pictures, love letters, cards, movie tickets,
dried rose petals - anything sweet and sentimental that you wanted to save to
remember the one you love. These boxes
have one of four fates that await them – they sit and collect dust for years,
they are continuously added to and cherished, they are actually emptied and its
contents are put in a scrapbook where they belong, or they are thrown away (or
burned) depending on how bad the relationship ended.
This box has met the fate of sitting in my closet and
collecting dust for years. I have been
keeping this box of things from Brian since September 2006. I actually haven’t opened the box and gone
through it in forever, but I have added
to it. I just lift the top of the box an
inch or so and slide what I have into the slot, but never taking the time to
inspect its contents.
I’m happy I had to take a picture of this today because it
made me sift through it. It was quite
refreshing :) Brings back memories of how we started, where we have been, and hopes for where
we will go. I love every note from “I
can’t wait for our date tomorrow,” to, “I can’t wait to meet our son.” It’s the story of us and I love that I have
this letterbox to come back to in times of happiness and sadness alike. It really makes me remember why I fell in
love with Brian in the first place. I am one lucky gal <3
