I am smiling reading this, holding the baby after her little big brother bothered her so I picked her up and kept reading and her big big brother kissed her on the head while in my arms and that made her fuss too and I kept reading.
Oh my goodness. I have two grown boys who have been, by the grace and guidance of God, my most successful accomplishment in life. They are good solid men with families of their own that they are dedicated to raising well. I have two big boxes under my bed….one for each of them. Filled with some of the same type things you spoke in the blue suitcase. They are man’s men types so I almost felt that these things might not matter much to them. But your beautiful writing here makes me think they will receive it well when I pass. Based on what I’ve seen you are a man’s man type yourself so I feel more confident that they will find out what I wanted them to know about their value and impact on my life.
BTW….my mother had a “white suitcase” in my family and it has made the rounds through all four of us children. My sister has the biggest house ….so that’s been the final resting place for awhile.
I’m so glad you had a good family! One of the biggest blessings that can ever be received.
