When I was a little girl I loved the cream box that sat up high, just out of reach. It had an embossed pattern of swirling leaves, it was heavy to lift, probably.

I have distant memories, but they may not be true, of peeking inside and carefully opening the book that lay inside the beautiful box. Gently turning each heavy page and then each piece of silky tissue paper.

Of course now that I am older, and I own the box and it still sits up high just out of reach, I can look at it anytime I please.

And I do, often. My parents, on their wedding day.
