Mary (making a goofy face, above) is lately carrying around a little silver heart jewelry box. This box was given to me when I was a young girl and is engraved with my maiden initials, KTR. Perhaps a month ago, Mary asked me for a box in which to store her little bracelet so I dug this out of my keepsakes.
Well! The child has been carrying her heart with her everywhere she goes since then! It contains two precious items: her little floral bracelet and her little crystal angel pendant, given to her by her aunt who is a nun. Mary brings the heart downstairs with her in the morning and keeps it with her wherever she goes during the day, except we forbid her to take it in the car, lest she lose it. At night she carries the heart back upstairs and she even sleeps with it--so carefully that the lid doesn't come off in the bedsheets. A two-year-old hasn't yet lost these tiny items so precious to her and that is saying something!
