A Trip Down Memory Lane - Conclusion - The Precious Heirloom


January 15th 2010...

Dear Diary. My mum passed away January 11th 2010. Today she was laid to rest with my father...

Before her illness dominated her existence, we drew out key memories and compiled them into a précis of her life and character... Yes Diary, you are the project! Mum held firm to the belief that nothing in life could bring more joy, chaos and love than those nearest and dearest to heart! You Diary, having been her ultimate lifelong companion, reveal this truth with such warmth, depth and animation.... You are her soul in writing!

You will humour...You will teach...You will squeeze out a tear or two... But most importantly, you will carry my parents with you for generations to come! I Emily Harrison, hereby present you to the room of remembrance as THE Precious Heirloom. May you be forever cherished as readers beyond explore, experience and enjoy this trip down memory lane!
