Valentines Day, 2022. Having COPD and being in a pandemic, I started to ponder my legacy and wondered what my wife had to remember me by if I were to go. She has never asked me for anything personal, just home improvement or furniture projects. I wanted her to always remember, “You are My Sunshine”. I found a movement and put it in a small Mahogany box and wood burned J&L into the top with my first beginner woodburning tool.

“You’ll never know dear how much I love you. Please don’t take my sunshine away.”
