We all know that Ella was a keeper of cherished memories. Perhaps you are also. If someone needed to go through your stuff after you moved to a nursing home or died, what would they find? I would hope there would be special items you remember.
Judy noted she didn't have the heart to throw the note on the napkin away.
The 1967 note says:
Dearest Mom and Shirley,
Elodee says to leave a note.
I'm not quite sure what to say but then, we've only been married five years.
Anytime you need a shoulder let us know and I'll send mine, if you need one, we will ask for yours.
It's a new day enjoy every moment.
God will bless you as long as we have faith and trust in Him.
Love, Bob, Elodee, and Rachel
We always hope when we write notes to others that if they need us, we will be there. Old Trunks is hopeful she does this before someone asks.
I am thinking about a member of the Rye family. She was the daughter of Ella's sister, Alice. I don't know how Irene knew my Mother. When Daddy died, Irene was there bringing paper products to mother; plates, napkins, and silverware. Why? Because Irene, within her own heart, felt this was the most needed thing. And Mother appreciated her thoughtfulness.
The next time you pick up a napkin, flash a mental note to someone you care about. Give them the gift of your thoughts and accept a blessing to yourself.
