Keepsake Box

I was never much of a big collector. I used to save things that were special to me, but I never had things that I thought needed to be put away for safekeeping. Most of the time I would find that the things I had saved would in the end remind me of something that I no longer wanted to remember. When that happened, I simply tossed everything. I never felt the need to have a keepsake box, but in the last four years, that has most definitely changed.

We all have heroes, and we all have people we admire. I found such a person, and in the past four years, I am glad that he has never let me down. I have a keepsake box in my home, and inside are items that remind me of him and things and times we have shared. He�s a famous guy, sort of, but that�s not how I see him. To me he is just like everyone else, but has, or rather had, a really great job. In my keepsake box are reminders of some of the fun we�ve had together, and things that help me remember when I need to.

Now that he has had to retire, it will be harder for me to see him, and I don�t know what the future may hold. I am smart enough to know that there are no promises for the future, no matter how well meaning anyone may be. I know that the memories I have in my keepsake box may be all that I have. He lives so far away, so far away that we may never meet again. Though the thought of that kills me, and has been hard for me to handle, I do have what is contained within my keepsake box.

If you want something like that for your special memories, you can find almost anything for a keepsake box, as long as it holds your memories for you. You can get something plain, or you can find a box that matches your d�cor. What you want to have for a keepsake box is up to you. You can get ones that lock if you want to, but make sure you don�t get something that looks like a cash box if there will be no cash in it. That may make it a target for thieves if you were the victim of a break in. That might be the first thing they take.
