...A GOODBYE STORY...

I have a weird thing with books and I've explained it a bit in this post, so if you've read that you'll understand why I HAD TO HAVE the collection: Bookends by Aimee Harrison.

The problem I had though, was that I couldn't think of any photos to use with it. I'd already used any photo of me with books I could think of. I'd already done a layout with my bookshelf and a pile of books. So I then had to start thinking about the kids and if there was anything I had that still hadn't been used before.

Then I remembered a series of photos from quite a few years back.

Back in a time when I only had 3 little rugrats running around. My in-laws were pretty good about getting the kids random little gifts on holidays - even Valentine's Day. One year, for Valentine's Day, the kids all got books, and believe it or not, they were excited. I believe my in-laws had also bought a book of stories to keep at their house to read to the kids when they were over there.

Before we left their house the night they gifted the books, my father-in-law sat down with the big storybook collection and read the kids a story or two. Now that he's passed away, I'm so glad my mother-in-law caught moments like this. My kids were lucky to have such an invested Grandpa.
