This week I packed up a going-to-be heirloom Bible signed by the lady after whom we named Miss Baby’s middle name, shortly before the lady’s passing:
In my little corner of the world, 2010 meant the home-going of a most loving and influential friend in my life. I am glad we have that Bible on hand to pass along to Miss Baby when she comes of age. Heirloom items, regardless of price and value, are tangible things that connect one generation to another. It will be special for us one day to be able to tell about our friend when we present the Bible to Miss Baby.

Oh, yes it will be very special indeed.
This is THE heirloom that will last for generations, if not forever.
What a beautiful gift awaits Miss Baby, and I’m sure she will treasure it.
That is precious indeed!
That’s a very precious gift.
How special to have the words written by such a dear friend. Although your Baby will never know her, she has influenced your life which will be passed down to your Baby. The older woman passing the baton on to you. Carry the sweet memories in your heart and share them with your daughter.
You are certainly going to have a wonderful box of heirloom treasures for Baby!
One of the best gifts of all!!!
What a very special keepsake. I am sure some day Miss Baby will treasure it.
Oh Wendy I’m so sorry for your loss – yes, her bible will be a tremendous keepsake for baby.
A lovely keepsake, Wendy. Have you considered writing Miss Baby a letter about it’s history, and placing it amongst the pages? Best wishes, Jenny
This is very special! I can say that this is one of the best gifts ever!
I have a few tears in my eyes
A very special keepsake Wendy! Thanks for stopping by to see my snowman. Have a great week!
