Another Pinterest quote find that just seemed to speak to me. Henry is gone from my sight. I can't pick him up and snuggle him or see him smile. I can't hear his funny little baby noises or feel his soft baby skin. I can't watch the soft rise and fall of his chest or hear his little snores as he sleeps peacefully in his crib.
However, all of this lives on in my heart. It's true that with my eyes open I no longer see Henry. But every time I close my eyes, he's there. Every time I blink, he's there. Henry will live on in the memories we have...the memories of his sweet smile, his happy personality, his awesome mohawk, his fighting spirit.
Eventually I will start to put some of Henry's things away, like his baby tub, playmats, toys. Bottles will get washed and packed away. Crib sheets and changing pads will get washed, folded and put away. But Henry's memory will never get packed away. We will always remember the little monster who invaded our lives and taught us the importance of love, laughter, and living life.
