Some things simply have to be shared.
I was finally able to let go of the jewelry box that belonged to my mother. It was a simple round box that contained some simple trinkets. The Ladner United Church garage sale was a perfect place to say goodbye to it, but I was not prepared for what happened next.
While working at the cash table, a beautiful, smiling little boy appered with his father, clutching the jewelry box. I started a conversation with him and knowing what was in the box, I asked him, "Does it have something in it?" He eagerly opened it and held up the trinkets to show me. It was then he said the most heartwarming words, "I am giving it to my mum for Mother's Day."
