Trophies and Memories

I have a mantel full of trophies, but none of them are from sports. They are all animal show related. My son, however has a roomful of sports trophies. It doesn't matter how old they are, or when you get them, trophies make you feel good. It's nice to see them and remember the victories. Every once in a while I think about packing mine up and putting them away. I mean, most of them are years old, some even decades, but I can't. They are like pictures in time... a symbol of fun, challenges, hard work and payoff. I will never get rid of them, and I know my son will always treasure his.
