the things we keep

Henry has a small dresser upstairs that has a small top drawer that we affectionately titled Henry's "special" drawer. He puts anything that he holds "sacred" in it. I knew he put a lot of things in there, but this is the first time I have actually taken an actual inventory.
So, here is a privileged look into Henry's mind and heart.
