March 15, 2026 will be 5 years since Brooklyn gained her wings. Still seems like yesterday. Not a day goes by that I don't think of her, say her name, look at her picture and wonder who she'd be today. I went into Brooklyn's room to put away the Christmas decorations in her closet. And everything is still here. Her clothes hung in her closet, baby blankets folded on a shelf. Socks , shoes and pacifiers in a drawer. I found these things I thought I had lost. Her octopus from the NICU. They had me put under my shirt so it smelt like me and then put it in her crib with her. There is no doubt in my mind she knew her mama and Daddy. I thought by now I would have gotten rid of all these things to someone in need. But yet I'd rather just hang on to them. But I feel like it's time. Time to take all of the clothes she has and never got to wear, wash them and put them in a cedar chest we bought for them to go in. Maybe it will bring a sense of peace to my mind. But in another thought it's like I'm putting away her belongings but I'll never put away her memories. ❤️
