Somewhere in a mysterious dark corner of your home it's collecting dust, and inside are his worldly childhood possessions..
NJR is no different he too came with such a box. In fact that box, his dog Max, and a framed Ravens photo were the only things he brought with him when he became my cohabitant at 2950. Our wedding vows say to LOVE, HONOR and CHERISH... I assume this also applies to that box.
Here it is... straight from "the box," NJR's travel league baseball uniform from his High School years... He always wore the trusty #56 whether in football, baseball or basketball, so #56 is truly sentimental for the man of the house... Let's face it NJR your not going to EVER wear that again... so what to do what to do...LOVE.HONOR.CHERISH.
1- Goodwill Pillow... $4.00
1- Raggedy old uniform
1- Inspired amazing wife on a mission
to remove clutter from our home ;0)
30 minutes on the sewing machine..
And now his faithful uniform is in a place of honor our couch. I must admit as I sewed I could see the blood stains and grass stains that held the many stories and memories as to why that old thing probably found it's way to that box in the first place.
Rather than sew the buttons shut I left them buttonable....that is how we'll get the pillow in and out in order to wash it as needed...
As for the rest of the uniform.. I did what every woman does with some things in that box... I buried it in the bottom of the trash can... HA!
LOVE.HONOR.CHERISH.
