Here is the message in the box:
This box belonged to Great-Grandmother Mary Eileen Smith.
She was your Grandpa Smith's mother.
It had been a Christmas Gift from Grandpa Bill and Grandma Nancy Smith to her many years ago.
It is a special box to keep your treasures.
Take good care of it and you can give it to your child (or grandchild) someday.
Love, Grandpa and Grandma Smith, Christmas 2009
Families are Forever! ;-)
What a wonderful way to make Family History important to your grandson! This is truly a precious gift.

Thank you for the comments. We will work with him and his parents to carefully make it more valuable as the years go by. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful gift! Someday, maybe he will post a picture of it on his blog for "Treasure Chest Thursday" :)
