I did something today that I didn't think I would be able to do for months. I got up the courage to put Sammy's things away. For the past 6, almost 7, weeks I have been wrestling with myself about packing away her clothes and blankets and diapers.
Today I decided I was ready. Well, mostly ready. I packed away the diapers, saving them for the day when another special spirit will join our family. I boxed up the blankets, except for the ones that still smell like Sammy. Those I keep by my bed for nights when I am especially missing my baby. I finally put away those last few outfits in her dresser. I'm not quite ready for her clothes to go to storage. But putting them in the drawer, out of sight, but within an arm's reach, is a big step for me.
I will never forget my baby. But I'm glad that I'm starting to move on with life.

You are amazing. What you did is a huge step. Sammy is very lucky to have you as her mom. (So are your other girls)
Love ya Laura! You are so strong, I just wish I could hug you! You'll still get to raise your beautiful little girl, but until then it's okay to miss her.
This is a big step Laura. I can't imagine how hard that must have been... I have a hard time packing up clothes that are too small for Parker, my heart breaks for how you must have felt. We still think of & pray for you guys everyday. We love you so much!!
Be strong Laura! That doesn't mean you have to put everything away yet though! You are an amazing person. I am blessed to be your friend. I think about you often and am glad you are able to have the strength you need.
Laura, I had gotten behind on your blog so I thought I would catch up tonight since I was just thinking about you guys the other day. I just read about your baby. I'm so sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
