Emotional Ties
>> Sunday, August 7, 2011
I feel complete again.
It's hard to admit that my completion was facilitated by the return of a piece of furniture.
A crib to be exact.
Not just any crib. It's the same crib that held my slumbering babies. When my babies out-grew it I loaned it to a friend in need, under one condition...it had to come back.
It came back today.
One can't describe the flood of emotions I felt, seeing it sitting on the drive, waiting to be brought back inside one last time.
It's been a symbol of so many different things through out the past 7-8 years. Everything from pain (as it sat empty in those early days), to relief and joy as I laid my first healthy baby down to sleep in it.
I will be the first to admit that it's an unusual item to have such a strong emotional tie with, but it is what it is, and I'm okay with that.
3 Pepsi Points :
it IS where you babies slept..
so i TOTALLY see where you are coming from!!
Oh, I'm so glad you got your crib back! It is a very important symbol for you.
You are so cute! I sold my jogging stroller and cried because of all the memories, I can't imagine when jackson is done with the crib. I will cry like a baby since he will be the last one to use it. Why is growing up so bitter sweet? Xoxox
