This is the mantle in our living room. Everything on it is connected to Logan, and since it's his birthday month, I took a few extra seconds to pause and really look at it. There's the Lightning McQueen Mickey Mouse ears Heidi gave him. And the garden of I-love-you hands --which were so poignantly apropos since we always exchanged the I love you sign when parted ways-- crafted by his Year to Grow classmates after he died. And a You Are My Sunshine pillow that was serendipitously given to me by the grandma of one of Abby's sweet elementary school friends who was in my care for a short time. And then the bottle of sparkles Logan made as a project.
All beautiful, wonderful reminders of a beautiful, wonderful person. And I'm thankful to have them.
