Another goodbye!

This probably seems silly to some, but my heart strings were stretched today as I tossed out the container of lovely body butter given to me by Shannon and Paul last Mother's Day. I've enjoyed it all this time and now it's gone. It's very hard for me to let go of these little reminders of my Lovebug. Where she is, she doesn't need these mixtures to make her skin soft and radiant. She's already there! I'll miss the sweet vanilla smell after my morning bath which would bring her close to me.

I keep a blouse my mom wore a lot and hold it close to me sometimes just to feel her near. I love those moments.

Ahhh...that brings tears to my eyes! I miss Shannon dearly as well! I look at one of my family pictures and can't help but think of Shannon, who so graciously went with Sam, Beckett, and I in Dec. 2007to the park to help us get our first shot as a family (after Beckett was born).
