The Names



Before I was added, there were concrete blocks which led up to the house. The beautiful Spring day I was created, the people I came to know as the grandparents came over.  Before I had set and dried, each one of the children in the family placed their hands in my jelly-like surface. Then a skinny little stick was used to etch each of their names—Travis, Haley, and Lauren—under each of their little handprints. Someone made the comment that they were now immortalized; as long as I remained, their names would be as well. That comment made me feel pretty important and like part of the family! I now had a responsibility to these giggly, happy little children!
