A Legacy You Can Hold
That little object—roughly made, lovingly worn—is more than just a piece of wood. It’s a connection. A physical link between generations. It’s what reminds us that love isn’t about diamonds or grand gestures. Sometimes, it’s about building something small with your own two hands, just so someone you love can rest their recipe card while stirring the sauce.
That day, my wife placed one of her grandmother’s old cards in the holder—Apple Cinnamon Cake—and started baking. The house filled with that warm, familiar scent, and for a moment, it felt like her grandparents were right there with us.
Final Thoughts
There are many ways to say “I love you.” Some write poems. Some cook meals. Some carve wood into something useful and beautiful, and gift it quietly—without ceremony—just because they can.
And years later, when hands and faces are gone, those little objects remain, whispering stories across time.
So if you ever stumble on something handmade, tucked in a closet or attic box—don’t rush past it. Look closely. You might just be holding a piece of someone’s love story.
