quirk/ something you dont know about me

Do you know that I use old fashioned hankies? betya didn't, I love handkerchiefs. I started collecting them when I was young (not purposely) but by accident. Of course like all good things they seem to enter you life with out knowing it at first. I had a Great Grand Parent pass away I was probably in school first grade (judging by the hair cut not the memory). Her name was (I think) Sarah cant remember for sure or not but moving on with the story my Aunt May took me and two of my cousins in her bedroom opened her night stand drawer and gave us all one of her hankies. My Aunt was saying you girls are too young to remember her but you will remember this. My Aunt started crying and went to the bathroom I followed her (by my self) and knocked on the door and was shooed away by some relative. I took the hankie to my Mom who cooed and said you Aunt is so thoughtfully and she explained that she was up set and that I should leave her alone and go out and play with with Teresa & Kenny (my cousins) but before I left she took the hankie from me knowing I would loose it.
Present day I use them when I go to a church, I give them as gift's and have them monogrammed for special occasions (like beth's wedding). Wow it's so odd that such a small (sweet and kind)gesture could impact my life. It's odd how it wound up as one of the little quirks that make me who I am today. I intend to scrap a hankie page soon as well as a quilt page with a equally endearing story. Scrap you quirks it's part of you! Blessings a

What a sweet memory. And thanks for the reminder that we should all remember the "quirks" that make us who we are.
