This grand heart of yours leaves me envious and awestruck. The passion you express through mere words is the greatest of gifts. All of this from a man! My life has been surrounded by stoic masculine men that only express rare glimpses into their feelings. You, John, are different. I have followed you for years and you can bring me to tears with one sentence. Beautiful work, just magnificent.

Thank you very much. I can't be the only one, of course, but I'm glad you found me!

The vintage baby clothes (unless they are rags) are something someonevmight love, or even a poor mother who can't afford to buy them. Likewise, old photographs. I kmnow it's really hard to part with sacred "stuff," so maybe keep the red gloves.

I think all the family history items my former in-laws say they don't want are likely to end up shipped to them anyway. We'll see.
