Many years ago when Mike first started my Precious Moments collection,the third figurine that he gave me was one of the original seven, entitled "Love one another"
Though my collection has grown to five curio cabinets, I remember the day that I got this one as if it were yesterday. This is why I didn't rush right out a month ago when Cindy seen this one of the original seven and told me that since it was 1/2 off,I should add it to my collection. I didn't think any more about it until I was in a nearby store yesterday and realized that it was still there at 50% off. Since I was sure that I had it I walked past but when I got home, I was determined to find it. Though I didn't take any out of the curios( so I could have missed it in the back), I didn't see this particular one. I did not have time to search any further and somehow and image of one of the kids breaking this figurine, tossing it and then telling me that I should get it filled my mind.I decided that I should go and get this figurine as it was 50% off,just in case. I figure that if I do find time to search the curios and I do find my original,I can always find someone to give my extra a home. And if my intuition is correct, I will have the piece.
After my purchase, I asked Cindy, if my intuition was right,however she maintains that she never seen this one in my collection and that maybe I am getting old and forgetful. If it were anything else, I would have to agree that yes I am starting to forget some things but nothing as important as the third Precious Moments figurine that my husband ever gave me. Gee that would be like forgetting our anniversary !
