It's been more than a month since she passed, but her memories are all around us. We have incorporated a few of her possessions into our home. It's amazing how a little plant can make you stop and think of her.
Of course, we didn't bring much home. We left the "Where's Waldo" stick and the aged salad dressing, and the "every color under the rainbow" collection of earrings. Caroline loved deals and she rarely had just one of anything!
We have cleared out her home, but not our hearts! We donated a lot of usable treasures so that other families may benefit. We have just a few trinkets, but they seem right at home now.

It's nice to feel her presence around us. But, of course, the real treasure was the time we got to be with her. Nothing can replace our fond memories. Her house may be empty, but that's o.k. We hope new families are loving their new possessions. We love the few we brought home!
We love you Al and Caroline! Like that "Love" statue, may you embrace once again.
