Congrats Mike on finishing up the chest, it looks great. The tender moment with your daughter was great to read about. But, you didn’t tell us whether you cried or not. I’m guessing you did.

Cajunpen hit the nail on the head for me… heirlooms. I think I’m becoming addicted to this website because of the personal projects that are shared with all of us. It’s a a great box, Mike and thanks for sharing your and your daughters’ special moment.
