I must say, that is among the most beautiful posts I have ever seen on LiveJournal. I know I hold this opinion for good reason and that not everyone would agree with me. I loved it because I would have so loved to be there. Not only that, but I would have loved to be the ones who left that histoy behind. I keep journals so that my distant children will be able to find them after I'm dead. I treasure antiquated objects, exponentially more if they have reason to be mine. My paternal grandmother fascinates me. She died well before I was born; my mother never met her mother-in-law. I now have her old hat pin, just exactly the way I remembered it when I was little, seeing it stuck within the soft pages of a telephone book in my grandfather's house. One of the fake plastic stones missing off of it. I'll never forget the day my mother gave me it. After we moved my grandfather out of his house to elsewhere, my mother acquired it. I commented on it and was so intrigued, she gave me it. I treasure the jpgs i have of her. I would love to share them with you if you wish. IM me.
OH MY FUCKING GOD
