Some people keep the first flower they were ever given. Others may choose to save a newspaper clipping to remind them of an event or person. These memories may be tucked into a book or a box; saved for a moment when it will be taken out and read or just held. These bits and pieces are some of what makes us who we are.
Amongst the flowers, photos, holiday cards and graduation announcements that my mom saved was a green box. A memory perhaps?
Or a way to do a quick dental id on me?
A cast of my pre-orthodontia teeth.
