Lucky Lucille: something i've been given...

Week #5...something I've been given. I've been given many things during my life that are very special to me. My most treasured gifts are the handmade and sentimental ones. I could write about every single little gift I've ever received and the gratitude I have for each one...however, I decided to choose only 2.

First: My incredible husband made me a table almost 22 years ago. He doesn't think it's anything special, but I do. He crafted it with his own 2 hands. It's beautiful! Most often it resides in a noticeable spot in the entry of my home. It has also spent time in my bedroom and dining room. It shows subtle signs of time and wear which makes it more endearing to me. I'm grateful for it because CJ made it for me when we were young and poor. It was a surprise gift and it's my favorite thing.

Second: Mason Forbush gave me a lego alligator. I can't even begin to explain why this gift is so incredibly special to me. Let me just say that Mason is a tough and mischievous boy with a gigantic heart! He makes me smile and I am grateful to have had him in my life for 2 years! He will grow big and forget all about me but I will always remember him...and...I have his lego alligator ;] What a boy!
