Recently I was going through some things in my attic and came across a box of stuff from my childhood. It's amazing the kinds of things we keep. There are the usual photo albums with pictures we'd rather forget. You know, the ones that show us dressed in the most awful clothes imaginable. I've got a few photos of me wearing jeans that look big enough to get an elephant in! And I can't believe that my mother ever let me dye my hair. Those blond streaks really didn't suit me at all. Then there were things like my first baby tooth and a ballet shoe that I must have worn when I was about three. There was a pack of cards with a few missing - now why would anyone want to keep that? Ticket stubs for concerts I can't even remember going to and certainly wouldn't want either my husband or children to find out about. And, at the bottom of the box, there was a pair of earrings that my first boyfriend had given to me. Now, those brought back memories. That's an episode of my life that I hadn't thought about for years and didn't really want to. If only I hadn't found that box, but of course I had. And, even though I'd put everything back in and pushed the box into the corner of the room, I couldn't stop thinking about what might have been if I'd stayed with Luke rather than marrying Barry.
