The Box – Chapter 2
Then there was Jimmy. He went on to become a brilliant trial lawyer in New York, but whose life was cut short by Cancer. He had dreams of one day running for office, and would have made a fine political leader…..something our country is desperately in need of these days.
I continue my journey down memory lane as item after item is revealed. It is some time later that Tina returns to the room to help. After trying the attic one last time, and not locating the treasured box she is quickly becoming very depressed with our predicament.
We continue to work in silence. No words are required as we each feel this loss in our own way. There were many special treasures in that box and if they are lost we will never be able to replace the items as some were one of a kind collectables. As I close the current box I have been sifting through I look over to the wall. There is but one box remaining. This has to be it. Would fate be so cruel as to make us look into each and every one before we finally found our pot of gold?
We stood and looked at each other. Neither of us remembered placing the ornament box into this last remaining one, but perhaps somehow it was placed within it by one of our friends who had helped us move. Slowly I made my way over to the last box. As I kneeled before it, I said a silent prayer that it was here, that our search that afternoon had not been in vain. I opened the flaps and stared down at the contents…….
Just then I heard the front door open, then close and the voice of our daughter call out “Mom? Where are you?”
After a few seconds in time, I hear footsteps walking in our direction, becoming louder as she makes her way closer to us. She smiled as she appeared when she saw us. “There you both are.”
She came over and gave us each a hug. “Come with me I have a surprise for you.”
With that quick request she turned and left the storage room.
Tina and I looked at each other, then at the direction our daughter had headed. I peeled myself off the floor, brushed off the dust from my pants and followed Tina to the living room. There we found Angie standing beside…………… a rather large beautiful mahogany wood box, with four drawers.
“What is that?” I inquired as I have never seen this box before.
Proudly she reached down and opened the lid. Our eyes lit up as we saw what it contained………………

Wow, it sounds like Angie had a beautiful box made to hold those special ornaments. Please post soon.
Angie found their family treasure and put it in a box fit for such a treasure (perhaps with the help of an Aunt or two). What a special gift from a special little girl. PPS :o).
