You have beautiful descriptions. You really take the person back and I can see everything you describe. Well done, I loved it. You have my vote!
A nice slice-of-life vignette. Reminds me why I don't want kids, in a good way - the story about handcuffs had me laughing. Great writing.
Liked it...It truely happens...when an old thing is brought out the memeroies come back to mind...and you depicted your memories in a very beautiful way....I liked it and voted for it.

It's interesting to see how one unfortunate incident can lead to a discovery of items long tossed aside. I can see how much the items meant to you because of the connections to past events.
Your descriptions provide visual pictures of the items. I found your piece to be well written. The idea of your story is unique.
I love the many descriptive lines.
Here's a vote for you:)
