Wall of Love

I have a wall of love.

It is comprised of cards from my birthday taped to the Bub's inside wall. A lot of people probably do this with the cards they receive, but most of them probably don't seal them in plastic bags first.

Nearly every card I received for my 18th was contaminated. The obvious solution is to take a photo of each and throw them all away. I've done so with every card I've received in the past three years.

But these cards are special. They contain words that made me cry and make me beam whenever I read them again. I can't bear to throw them away just yet.

So, I have sealed the open cards in gallon baggies and hung them on my wall. Now, without having to breathe contamination, I can read them again and again and be reminded of all the love sent my way by the people I love most.
