[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 553412, member: 4264"] Lisa, how terrific you must feel having gotten this all done. I have sat back reading your updates this past year and just marveled at the tenacity and forward motion, amidst grief and healing. Remarkable. I hope your sale goes well and you make a boat load of money. And hope the hardwood has held up well or is easily refinished. I have a weak spot for hardwood. Carpet for me is just a pain. Hardwood is just so clean and fresh and timeless. I'm glad you are going to keep Fred's Marine uniform. That is something that is priceless in my opinion. I hope one day your grands look at it and smile and remember. Maybe you could tuck some photos and a few notes with funny stories or touching ones, into a envelope and set it in the storage bag. One day a grand or great grand can stumble upon grammas notes on grampa. I never met my grandfather who served both world wars. I grew up hearing about him and felt I knew him. I have his official world war 1 military photo on my wall. It's the type that are in those large wooden ovals and meant to be covered in a glass done. I'm guessing the glass Was damaged early on. There hasn't ever been glass on mine since I remember it. We were Just saying last night that we really should take it to a framing shop with experience with this type of photo and have glass put back for preservation. This photo has long been the first thing I hang in a new home. I literally find time each day to smile at it. Somehow it's just a connection, even never knowing him, that feels very powerful. Even my S/O feels comforted with the photo hung. He says it feels like the mans presence is here, guarding and protecting. And my S/O isn't normally one to talk like that. I have the feeling your Fred's Marine uniform is going to be a cherished item. Meanwhile, back to your house! Enjoy enjoy enjoy! [/QUOTE]
