P's grandmother is sending movers to pack up AD's house next week. So we went over last weekend to get more of his things.
I found this little box with a mirror-window on the lid. It was one of those that you have to figure out the correct way to slide the lid to open it. I kind of struggled with it, but for some reason I was bound and determined to see what was inside.
It was this.
A stack of pictures featuring Preston... and me.
And one was the last picture I ever took with my beloved Papa. (Pronounced Pawpaw. But he isn't a cat. So spelled Papa.)
I don't know how AD had a copy of that picture. But I do know that she was the kind of woman who had a picture of me and my Papa and her Preston wasn't in it, but she saved it. She saved it in a really pretty box. She saved it because she was love.
I hadn't really broken down and cried over Aunt Dollie until I found that picture.
