Every now and then he would give it a little pat. Just remembering. It didn't stay there forever, but it did stay there until he was ready to put it away. I think of Ava's room and Grace's nappy bag a bit like that:) xxAlice Kristovskisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1532174814063540936.post-33653003977111233912015-11-02T14:36:44.652+11:002015-11-02T14:36:44.652+11:00I think it's totally ok to leave this room as ...I think it's totally ok to leave this room as it is. In some way it can be kind of comforting to feel grief for Ava whenever you see this room. I found it strangely comforting to feel SOMETHING...and that deep, strong feeling connected me to my baby. Even after almost three years, I still have my hospital baby bag packed with clothes, nappies, a couple of dummies, etc. there is no rush. Time is a great healer and in time you will be ready to change this room around and it will feel right for you. In the meantime, miss her like crazy and keep her things in the drawers. I'm sorry that you have had this experience, yet I'm glad for you as you know the privilege of loving you daughter for her whole life and bringing her in and out of this world...a sad and difficult time, yet an incredible privilege. Much love to a proud mother of three darling children. Alice xxxAlice Kristovskisnoreply@blogger.com
