Happy Birthday!

Patches

Patches arrived in our home at a perfect time. I needed him to help heal my aching heart. He came shortly after I put all our son's items away into the closet. I was so sad, I couldn't handle to see any reminders that he was never going to me more then a baby. When I got notice he'd be coming, I thought it was a sign. Then in the mail I received a different item, my necklace. Which Patches is wearing. Unfortunately for me, it gives me a rash due to the metal it's made from, but gave me an excuse to get his things out for display.

It took me a while to figure out how to arrange the shelf, but I think it's okay for now. Patches stayed there for the majority of the stay. However he was able to attend Adrian's birthday, by series of not so great events in our life at the moment, but I'm happy to say that he'll be on his merry way to the next family soon.

Happy 5th birthday Adrian.

Patches...

Last week, I received a message saying I was next in line to receive Patches the Bear. I had forgotten about him. I'm super glad that he'll be coming our way because I think a little patching is needed for our dear son. To read more about Patches Adventures, go here http://patchesthebear.blogspot.com/

My last entry was about how I needed to pack some of his things away for a while, and I did. I did it in an hours time. I did not realize that I could fit everything into a laundry hamper, let alone do it in an hour. I just put it in our closet on the floor, and every day since, my oldest daughter keeps going into the closet and looking at his photos, saying "Shhh... Babee sleepin". It is adorable. And I am glad these photos do not scare her, or seem different to her at all.

That is her big brother, and I think her way of saying maybe it's time to bring his things back out, but maybe just in a certain area of the house... Not everywhere.
