Old jewelry box, with grandma's pearls and pendants. How, I love them still ! They wanted to bury her, with the pearls- but I hid them. _______________________ May 25, 2016 Traditional Tanka Submitted to the contest, New or Old 4 sponsor, Eve Roper First Place

I think they are better off with you to keep as a fond memory. You have such a kind heart. As always, you touch the souls of those of us lucky enough to have a moment to come to this space. And as per usual, in this brief moment of time and space, let me send you kind thoughts if that is possible in this universe of ours. You are just such a bright beacon of goodness.

Duke, thanks for the lovely comment, my grandma and me had a special bond and I know in my heart that she would want me to have that necklace and I do.. so all is, as it should be...
