How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, ~W.B. Yeats

My First Thoughts


My initial thought is to write some background information about my grandmother, but I want these to be about me, which leads me to think I should provide background into my relationship with my grandmother, but I don't want to get bogged down in the details of a relationship established as an infant and evolved over many years.

So last night I opened the box where I have stored the letters and pictures, they are in two smaller boxes and one garment storage bag. My very first thought was of bugs and mice, but I am hoping that by storing these in an air tight plastic container I will kill off any bugs, and any small rodent type animals would have destroyed the letters and made a mess of my moms closet prior to my discovery of the items. Having laid rest to my initial fears, I picked the smallest box with which to start.

I need to expand on these thoughts, but here are the synopsis of my first day of organization
My grandmother looks very much like herself even at a young age, and my grandfather does not.
I am feeling like an eavesdropper, and am dreading and am eager to discover letter written about me.
The importance of marking your pictures - do I need to go back through mine
