with spring here i am again feeling the pull to rid myself of "stuff"
windows open, a perfect spring breeze coming through, it is time to pull apart the closets
here is what i pulled down from the top shelf of the closet
these are most definitely not going anywhere
these mementos of my girls first bits of life here with me
first locks of hair, first shoes, sonograms, first little dresses
i sat down with these and lost at least a good hour
holding, gazing and just taking in what used to be
and it was like finding a little bit of myself again.
oh my goodness - check out all that sweetness.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...such sweetness...makes me want to go dig out the little bits of blue I've got stashed in the trunk. xo
ReplyDeletethat's so sweet. i'v lost time too recently as i've been preparing photos, etc. for a certain girls graduation. pretty bitter sweet.
ReplyDeleteWarm fuzzy feelings are alive and well inside of me when I look at this. I have many momentos from my son's first year put away for safe keeping too. Oh, and the baby pictures! I pull them out whenever I'm having a not-so-great day and they always lift my spirits. I can't wait to pull them out when he brings his first girlfiend home. Can already hear him saying "Awe mom! Don't do that!" heehee
