From my oldest daughter

I got an e-mail from Ruth over the weekend. I like good memories a lot and this one had stuck in her mind although I have no recollection of the incident at all. It did do wonders for me though to read how she remembers it:

"I just had a memory come to me and I wanted to share it with you-

Rob is fixing the kitchen sink and he is replacing the P-trap. Seeing the piece of PVC filled with gunk reminded me of how once when I was brushing my teeth as a little girl, my tooth came out and was washed down the sink before I even realized it had fallen out. I remember my panic as a tooth is a valuable commodity to a little kid. I also remember the most important part though and  that was you coming and taking the P-trap off the plumbing under the bathroom sink and saving the runaway tooth. I remember being so impressed with you making the effort to save it and I wanted to make sure you knew that and 20 some odd years later I am still impressed that you did that for me. I can only pray that my girls remember such things about me-

Thank you daddy for saving my baby tooth-

 

All my love  from your big girl,

Ruth"

That is an amazing story. It is always the simple things in life that truly make the difference. I hope as I go along that my children have fond memories like this....
