:: Memories box

Four years ago I set up the first memories box for the boys and as each year passes we close the lid and start afresh with a new cardboard collector to house our collage of life. Anything and everything can disappear inside, from sketches, to photos, to postcards. Slowly, but surely these little boxes are building a home for our memories.

The boys will randomly pull out a box from time to time and reminisce over the simple little things we’ve done together. They will shout out with smiling faces as they recall in a heartbeat the places we’ve been, the things we have done and all that we have created. It’s all too easy to forget these moments as we rush through life, and from time to time it’s nice to sit back and reflect on the moments that ultimately make it.

Perhaps in its own unique way the neverendinglist is starting to turn into my own memories box, but with the added twist that it also inspires me to pencil these memories in the first place, and for that very reason long may it continue as I’m enjoying writing the never ending script of life and documenting all that we’ve done.
