Guest guest Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 This Christmas there was very little money, and though I bought a small gift for each of my 2 grandchildren, I didn't have much left. So I went to our " Dollar Tree " store and bought 4 photo albums, one for each of my children. It took me awhile to complete them as everytime I looked at a photogaph from the past 31 years (my eldest is 31) I would find myself going back to when the photo was taken. More than a few tears were shed...but more than a few smiles popped up my face as well. I've had times with better finances, bigger more elaborate gifts for my children. But you should have seen their faces light up as they opened their photo albums. They were SO delighted! They showed each other (each book was different for each child) they showed their aunt, their grandparents, their sweeties and then they kissed me and hugged me tightly. My children have been through so very much. I am so grateful that 'through it all' they know they are loved, and they remember the love. This blessed my heart so much! Love to all...
