No Longer Needed
Why did you throw out the highchair?
I didn’t throw it out, I left it on the curb for anyone to pick it up. It’s not like we need it anymore.
What if we have another baby?
What if we don’t? What if he was our one and only? I can’t walk past that thing just like I can’t leave his room the way it is. I’m turning it into a reading room.
I get it and I’ll help you. … Do you think one day we can try for a family again?
Yes. When my heart doesn’t hurt so much.
Austin’s Room
A Dalectable Life 
Oh, our stories are eerily similar this week. Mine’s fictional though. I’m sorry you had to go through that.

No worries. I’m a tough broad…😉

So sad, but it was the right thing to do. To give it to someone is to pass along the memory, and that tiny little footprint . . it gets bigger and mightier with every life it touches. And we both know how very many lives he has touched.
Love and peace.

B,
That’s how I feel. It does get bigger and he touched so many. Still does (kinda like his father and grandfather…)
Love, peace and cherishing the memories,

Yes and yes and yes to all of those things.
