S is for …

…sad son! There are a wealth of things that I could have written about for S but a few days ago I was reminded of this sorrowful note that my youngest son left under my pillow one night many years ago (please bear in mind that he is now 20!).

I can smile now when I read it but at the time it made me feel very sad.

Short and sweet from me this week – have a look at the other entries over at Jenny’s place.

I wish I’d kept more treasures like this, I have a few gems hidden away but there are a lot that got away as well!

    Oh how precious! I'm sure that at the time that seemed like the end of the world to him. I've got boxes of stuff that I probably should get rid of, but I just can't bear to part with it. For goodness sake, I still have Cait's baby teeth :) Kathy

    I can just f*e*e*l it! We were all there as children. Scared to death. Poor kid probably didn't sleep a wink that night.

    Sweet momento.
