Did I dream her?
We cleaned out the basement today ... finally. Where all the baby things had been tossed until I felt I could deal with it. I ran across this "Little Sister" onesie. Washed and folded with all the others. I tucked it away today with all the rest. Then I remembered that I still had a picture on my phone from the day I'd bought them.
Somehow today made it more final.
There are some days when it all feels like a dream.

I thought about you all day yesterday. I know that was not easy.
I thoroughly enjoyed hearing your voice. Have a beautiful Sunday.
Wow.....I feel the same way about wondering if it was all a dream. Seems like as time goes on, most of the time it feels that way. But then moments hit me and I KNOW it was real, because the pain comes back.
I had a similar experience yesterday. Except mine happened in a story. Little sister shirts/PJs everywhere. I just have to keep telling myself that my time will come again. I HAVE to believe that. It's the only way I can get past those moments.
You are brave for going through all the baby stuff. We tucked all of ours in the nursery. But, all the clothes are still hanging in the closet and in the drawers. Funny thing is, the bib and blanket drawer sits EXACTLY the way it has since Sierra was a baby! I have a feeling the room will stay just as it is until we have another baby.
Last year I finally gave away a hand made sweater and afghan that a friend made for Carey. He would be 32 years old next month. I still have the outfit that he and Jeff wore. Somethings are just too special......rose
Nothing like reading the above comment from my own 'little sister.' sharing with love about her own loss of a son. Written to my daughter about her loss of her daughter & Riley's little sister. Family is what it is all about. Mom/Mary
Oh it gave me the chills to see the pictures of the sisters shirts. I have similar matching outfits meant for my girls. They mean so much to me and are so heartbreaking to see. ((HUGS))
