It is starting to get cold around here and when
Ollie passed away it was cold, so I still have all of his winter clothes out. Of course he probably would be so big by now 7 months later and wouldn't fit into the shoes or jackets but I really miss getting
Ollie dressed when I see his clothes and they are just the way we left them that horrible morning. I loved seeing him want to go outside, he would run to grab his BLUE winter boots, his hat and his BLUE rain jacket. He LOVED being outside. I couldn't wait for summer so he could run bare foot and feel the grass between his toes and enjoy our big backyard which we got for him.
I also lit the fire for the first time since
OLLIE has been gone and I thought of him (of course he's never left my mind) how he would hand me pieces of wood and paper to throw in. He would crumble up the paper and wait for me to grab it. He was so patient and smart. He knew it was hot and never was I concerned with him burning himself. Such a big helper!!
I miss putting
OLLIES underwear on his tiny big boy bum.

ReplyDeleteIt always makes me sad when I have to put away the clothes my boys have outgrown. Instead of outgrowing his little clothes, Ollie outgrew this mortal life. I know you know he’s in a better place, but as a mom who would desperately miss her little boy, I also know how hard it must be for you to look at all of his things and not feel pain that he’s not there with you.
ReplyDeleteMortal reminders of an immortal bond. Such simple pictures, yet worth a thousand emotions, and that many more memories.
ReplyDeleteHis clothes are so cute. I hope you have another boy some day that you can dress in them so you can think of Ollie. It will be bittersweet.
