Little Reminders...

I'm grateful for these.  I emptied another bag from our weekend trip to Jenny's.  Stuff that has been sitting since we arrived home.  Last night I took out the pulse oximeter machine that he was hooked up to that last night.  There was his finger probe still intact.  It smells like his stinky little finger and that made me smile.  I'll be holding onto that probe for awhile.  I also pulled out his little BYU hat that he received for his 7th birthday.  A year of wearing it on his head has left smells that I'm so grateful for.  I find myself sniffing his pillows, his stuffed animals...anything that has been untouched or washed since last Saturday.  Anything to remind me of his smell...

Becky I haven't stopped thinking about you and Ben. I hope that his belongings hold his smell for a long time, so you can sniff them whenever you need to. ((hugs)) I am so sad that I won't be meeting you in two weeks after all. :(
