When I found this tin I had to do something with it for my dad. It was white and I spray painted it black. My dad always packed his lunch everyday to work. His lunch box looked exactly like this. He must have packed thousands of lunches in the lunch box that looked like this. This tin was a reminder of the sacrifices my dad made to provide for his family.
I filled this container with items that reminded me of him. I burned a CD with songs that made me think of him. I included some John Denver songs since he took me to this concert when I was 8. It was a very special date for me. My dad lived off tuna fish sandwiches for lunch so I included a can of tuna fish. I attached a note to each item to explain some of the great memories I had of him growing-up. It was the best feeling when my dad called and told me how much this gift meant to him. There are so many memories we have of our parents that we don't even stop to tell them about. I hope my kids will share their memories with me.
