     to

    So poignant! I know one family who took theirs with them. Love this small poem.

    This hits home….so final. We have our pencil scratches on the wall, here. This form is truly an extension of content. Beautifully penned.

    So meaningful. Our charts of heights remain some 40 years later and our grandchildren compare theirs with their parents!
