Lots of "Triggers" are everywhere..I moved recently and it was very hard to pack and go through old pictures and memnto's from the past. seems like another lifetime.
I don't understand why? Why, are left with just memeories, and the kids don't look back.
Itis hard togothrought he day reflecting on how quickly time passed, and how the hell you wind up where you find your self today.
I had the opportunioty to enjoy a grandchild for 3 years, but his mom took him away and my arms are even emptier.The house is emptier. Life is emptier.

Finding those momentos in closets and places is a diffucult and sorrowful thing. I have a big bag of stuffed toys and plastic dinosaurs in my closet - but am not strong enough yet to look at them.

I have lots of little momento's from my girls past. I keep a little picture in the window sill above my kitchin sink that has my "little girls" in the picture. My girls laugh everytime they see it and finally they asked me why I had that there and I told them that I haven't forgotten they were little once. It just gives me comfort. It is hard to find these little things and I seem to find them when I am thinking of one of them. When I decorate our christmas tree, I have all the little ornaments they made in school. Time passes so quickly, one day you have little kids around and the next day they are getting married and starting families of there own. I now live within 20 minutes of each of my girls and this works out perfect for me. I am not on top of them, but close enough to see them when I want and to have the grandkids whenever I want. I still miss my little girls...and they will always be my little girs...Blessings..missourigal
