Yesterday I received a box from my stepmom filled with some of my Dad's things, pictures of me and my brothers when we were kids, and some pics of my dad when he was in the service stationed in Korea and some pics from his childhood as well. One of the items in the box was this really cool handmade wooden jewelry box that I gave to my dad many years ago for his tie tacks and cufflinks.
I was really happy to look through all of the pics from childhood because I did not have any family pics before now. My dad passed almost 2 years ago, so it is a bittersweet feeling to see the jewelry box filled with his cufflinks and tie tacks in it.
