I'm glad I posted this thread..I do love your stories. Thanks for sharing them.. I now see buttons in a whole new light..
I still don't think Id ever sew a button back on hubby's shirt anytime soon but now buttons have a whole new meaning for me.. I lost both grandmas at a younger age and never got to experience the stories you told here, but I can only imagine what it could of been like. So, when I look at my buttons now I will think of them...
