My Treasures

For as long as I can remember I have always buried things..

When I first started, it was to hide things from my sister, Things she had that I wanted, but Did not receive. Now that I am older I have started hiding my treasures in my heart.

They come in all forms... Emails, Pictures. Some of my greatest treasures have been my friends and my family. I try to hide them deep down in my heart and when someone sends me a voicemail on my phone and I know that it is going to be along time before I get to hear from them again, or if I know I will NEVER hear from them again, I save them.

I listen to every word and savor the moment everytime, even if It is tears, believe it they are happy. One treasure that I will keep forever is the voice mail my daddy had left me one weekend I decided not to come home but stay in my new apartment for the weekend.. I played it today.

Daddy: Nebaby, everytime you go away this long, I smile and I cry at the same time because it is then I realize your growing up! does not mean I like it, but I want you to know I am proud of you. I love you darlin, Daddy.

I have even recorded it to a tape so that I can play it back whenever I can. I have a couple more messages from certain friends that I have saved also. You all are my treasures. I will never let you all go. Even tho we are far away and even it looks like I have moved on with work, friends or anything else. I want you all to know I think about you all everyday..For you all are MY treasures!!
