so I have this tin of buttons
it sits in the top drawer of my nightstand
it is old and faded
it is full of mismatched buttons
when i am sad i open it and run my fingers through them
it is therapeutic for me
these were my Nana's buttons
when i was little she would let me play in them
i would sit in the floor and dump them out and put them back in
checking each one as i returned it to it's tin
on rainy days we would play
checkers with the black and white ones
she has been gone for five years
i miss her
i hope my children have their grandmother
as long as i had mine.

What a sweet post. It touched my heart because I too would play for hours with my grandma's buttons. I miss my grandma. She died last year of Alzheimer's but she hadn't really been with me for at least 14 years before that. She was a wonderful amazing person.
