I've really enjoyed listening to these beautiful stories. It's hard to believe that old dresser has been in that room for only a week...it feels like it's always been there. And it feels so right and good that it's there. I shudder now to think of it lying broken and abandoned in a dumpster somewhere. It's so beautiful, and the memories that it evokes are unexpected treasures.

I think it's right and good that we have these "touch connections" with our lost loved ones...they do bring some measure of comfort, and eventually whisper their way through the sadder memories to the happier ones.
