stuff we hold onto

 

Some folks cherish a basket of flowers or a relish basket of fruit,

me, I have a basket of rocks (or had) -who threw away my rocks?! 

my young son replies --- mom you cant throw away rocks! He has a point but that’s not the point. Each one is a memory  a feeling of a place or time –it is like throwing a part of me away...

Mom- you cant throw away memories!
