I needed a safe place to post this

Today I was going through Jamie's things. I had bought a new box to put all of her belongings in since they weren't all in the same place. As I pulled out her things I read some of the cards before I started to cry so much I couldn't see through my tears. After I managed to compose myself a bit I started looking at the other items. Her hat is wrapped in her blanket. It's got blood stains on it. Which I remembered after seeing. As I looked closer at the hat I noticed something else. After a closer look, I discovered that it was pieces of her hair. Just a few strands but it was a wonderful new discovery. They couldn't get any of her hair in the hospital due to her deteriorated condition. So this was just such a wonderful surprise. It's been nearly 6yrs and I just found this. It took me all these years just to sit down and make her box and now I have a little extra special something in it. Just wanted to share.

I just wanted to post that I totally understand how you feel. I have some of Arjun's things in the box our hospital gave us, but need something bigger and more durable. Yesterday, while cleaning, I came across some cards we got and also a quilt that a friend had made for him. The smallest physical items have so much meaning for moms like us! (((HUGS)))
