As most of you know, my b-day was on Tuesday.My mom called me that afternoon and said that she wasn't going to be able to come see me cause my present wasn't ready yet....

Well, today... her and my step-dad came over and brought me this.He made it by hand, and she helped him stain it and put on the locks... and then inside she had this little note taped to the bottom.

It touched my heart in places that I didn't know I had.A treasure chest to put all my special memories in, and one day I will pass it onto my girls and so on.A time capsule of me, and them one day.

Just wanted to share this with you all.It's so beautiful, and I feel so honored to have had it made and given to me.

I wish....

I wish you could feel my heart pounding,
and see these tears....

they believe in you...

and that precious gift?

is priceless...and cannot be stored in a treasured box, m'dear...

it has to be kept in the heart.

God bless them, and you...

they know your talents, and rejoice!

Love, K

Oh Tima..this is so very very special of a gift.
It was given with much love to a very deserving daughter.

My wish for you is that it is always filled with happy thoughts..forever.
