From Ginger LaRocque Poitra (’65): Belcourt, ND
I too have a memory box of sorts.
Mine is written in an address book of which there are very little addresses.
It consists of family names with dates of their births, dates of deaths, dates of marriages. Important dates of surgeries, sickness. Items which were bought with a description of each item and the year they were purchased. Funny things the grandchildren said.
There are items written by my mother , such as our relatives names by families. Unfortunately all are not there in her writings. I tucked these papers inside my address book. I ran out of room in my book so I needed to write the birthdays and other info on separate papers and tuck them in my book as well.
I have kept the eulogies of the funerals I have attended throughout the years. My mother did the same but unfortunately after her death all were thrown by the siblings who think that that stuff is nothing but junk. My mother hadn’t put them in scrap books and suchlike I haven’t as well, I guess like a lot of people we too were having it hard so didn’t buy unneeded items.
I sure wish we could have, it is very difficult to organize items after so many years. I just hope all my things don’t get thrown when I am no longer around.
I have some totes with cards and the above mentioned in them. I hopefully will have time to complete my task of organizing them before my time comes.
I truly enjoy these kinds of things, organizing I not always my first priority I have come to realize, unfortunately.
I love it all !
Until later
