treasure

How appropriate...
Just last night I posted the pictures of a Christmas tree
 my Jimmy painted in 1st Grade...

I love how he managed to fit the "y" onto
 the end of his name! 

He made it work!

 And I absolutely love
 the other little relics I treasure from him...

A strand of Styrofoam popcorn on red yarn
 draped on my tree,

A pine cone covered in glitter nestled in the branches,

His school picture framed in a Christmas cupcake liner
 placed front and center!

Silly little crafts from earlier days
 when all was calm and all was bright...

 I am the one finding the "stuff" that has become treasure!

...and my priorities have changed.

i love you jimmy

i always have, i always will!
