Oh my the days can seem so long right now and just when I think I am a little too sad and the only one really missing Dusty the little one comes up with a plan so to speak. I was folding Dsutys laundry and she asked me what are you going to do with his laundry? I told her I would just put it away for him. She says well he really likes his sweatshirt maybe you should put it in an envelope and mail it to him. I otld her we would have to wait & do that later. So an hour or so goes by and I am on the next load of laundry and she sees another piece of his clothing and say I have an idea I will keep his stuff until he comes home. I told her i can just put his clothes in his dresser and she says well I will keep them for you and then when I really miss Dusty I will just smell him on his shirt and I can pretend hes here and play with him... Oh Lord the little one has here Grandmas genetics. I have saved a shirt from each of the boys so when I get really lonley I smell their scent and I am good to go...the apple dont fall ar from the tree
What a sweet story, Irishmaam....
Amazing how she is thinking about the situation like that. A very perceptive girl!
Oh to see through the eyes of a child. They have such insight and it's times like these when they make you shake your head and take your breath away. How absolutely precious. She's a keeper. Wait till your son hears this one. It will knock him off his feet!

She sure is a keeper. Children are just so much smarter than we are it seems

Age shall not weary them Nor the years condemAt the going down of the sun And in the morning
We will remember them ~
