Farewell Old Friend

   Sometimes when I walk by your old place, I go to reach out for you and I have to remind myself that you're not there.  It's so hard to believe after all that we have been through together, you're gone.  I will be forever grateful for you for the rest of my life.  You were the best darn fuzzy, purple robe that a girl could ask for!
    No one could take a hospital gown and take it to a whole new level of unattractive, but you kept my bum from being exposed.  You paired so well with my nursing tank tops!  You were so versitile! I could dress you up with sweat pants and a t-shirt or dress you down with pj pants and a t shirt.  I wish I had a photo of you but if the camera adds 10 lbs, you added a solid 20-30 lbs!

When I was up in the middle of the night with my babies,
                  You were there!
When I was up in the middle of the night sobbing with a fussy baby,
                   Your collar was there!
When someone spilled milk at the breakfast table,
                 Your sleeves were there!
When the laundry should have been done 12 days earlier and I had nothing clean,
                  You were there!
When I was cold and my Husband said, "Get away! You're legs are cutting me!"
                 You were there!

Good bye my dear friend!  Parting with you was one of the hardest things ever, but it had to be done.  There was just no way to clean off all that barf after Syd throw up on me.  Even in the end you saved me from such horror!
