THis is one of my favorite stories of yours. That little stamp box tells us the story of a marriage and a family. And so nicely written, too. It's a delight to see your work at Our Echo. Nancy

What a wonderful story inspired by such a seemingly mundane item as a stamp box!

Thanks for sharing.

The old-timers comment "in a nutshell" says it all. All those memories from one small box. Precious!

I had never thought about the life story that stamps could tell! Nicely told, encompassing joys and heartaches. I enjoyed it very much, and thanks for making me look at those lowly stamps in a whole new way.
