I figured it was finally time to paint and fill the memory box that we purchased to hold our, tangible, Collin memories. It's very disappointing to see that everything fit with room to spare. Of course there are some mementos that we've been given that we have kept out but all of the pregnancy tests, sonograms, appointment cards, sympathy cards, hospital bracelets and the cloth with Collin's name embroidered on it are all packed away now in his memory box.
It is with mixed emotions that I finished this project. On one hand it's sad to have it feel like the final "thing" and on the other hand it's nice to know that I'm at a place where I'm OK with putting it away and can start to look forward to what ever is in store for us.

This is so beautiful Kristi......
Amazing how large it is in our hearts and how little it is in our hands.

Big Hugs Kristi! It is absolutely beautiful! This is just God's way of helping you continue to grow. Collin will always hold that special place in your heart. You are not putting it all away, you are treasuring it up in your heart.
I can see that Collin was very loved and wanted! (I never kept the pregnancy test thing-a-ma-bob)
No matter how long our babies are with us. It is never long enough.
I am so sorry for your losses.
