This week all the little kids in the neighborhood walked to school with their families and while I sat in traffic looking at their cute faces I thought about how we'll never get to walk Sofia to her first day of school. I know that had she lived she would only be 10 months now but still, the future-thinking got the best of me and I was sad that we will miss out on that with her in the years ahead.
After a night and early morning full of thunderstorms I received a text and photo from my SIL, Sarah. It was a photo of a rainbow this morning. I suppose Sofia was saying hello on this 10 month anniversary. I'm glad she shared it with me so I could get "the message" too...

After work today I stopped by a little shop called "The Cottage Door". They have all kinds of cute little decor for the house, wickless candles, etc. I stop in every few months to check out their new inventory. Today there was no question these caught my eye and of course- I bought them! Even though they are intended to be zipper pulls or cell phone charms, I think I'll hang them from my rear view mirror. A ladybug for Sofia, a bee for Sam.

When I got home and before we went out for dinner my sister, Andrea stopped by for a quick visit. She bought me a little souvenir while on a trip to CO. She saw it & said she just had to get it. It's a "good luck" token and I'll probably keep it safe inside my purse. Lord knows I could use it! Ladybugs are supposed to bring good luck to so...

We went to dinner to Kona tonight. Mostly because I was craving some crab rolls since I woke up this morning (luckily those are safe to eat while pregnant) and the macadamia nut chicken. It was tasty as usual and I am stuffed. While we were walking in to the restaurant I commented to Tim how every time we go there I think about how this was the last place we went out to dinner before Sofia died. I have mixed emotions about that. I guess it was fitting that we went there today, 10 months later.
Miss you & love you Sofia Rose!
XXXXXOOOOOOOXXXXXXOOOOOOO
I love the charms and token, too.
ReplyDeleteNot walking to school with them.. heartbreaking. :(
