My sister stopped by today with her little daughter (2 years) and a newborn. They brought me a little magnet. Cute pink magnet with a picture of a picture perfect little girl.
I love my sister's daughter, I really do. But I just can not put this magnet on our fridge. A magnet with a picture of OUR baby was meant to be on our fridge. But there isn't any and there never will be.
I didn't have the heart to throw the magnet away (although I love to do this with all the objects that make me sad). So I just hid it in the darkest part of one of the drawers that I seldom use. So I can put it out only when the niece comes for a visit.
Things like that are so hard. I can sympathize.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea. :-))) We do need to protect ourselves.
ReplyDeleteI understand this. I'm currently avoiding a baby shower for twins for some close family members. Just can't deal with it right now.
ReplyDeleteI understand. It's too soon. Give yourself time.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are taking care of yourself. I suspect, one day in the distant future, you will be able to put the magnet out...but until then, keep it hidden far, far away.
ReplyDeleteI too have many pink and blue items hidden away...
dear girls,
ReplyDeletethank you for your kind comments!
