So, I guess that means it was bittersweet? :)
Today, a friend at work passed me in the hallway and told me she left something on my desk. Ok, I said. I didn't think much of it.
There was a small gift bag (yay...a present for no reason!) and in it were two Pen.n St.ate baby pacifiers. That by itself almost made me cry because it was so kind and so thoughtful. I went and found her in the hall to thank her and give her a hug.
As I'm hugging my friend, she's saying to me that she bought those for me such a long time ago and she was never able to give them to me. As students are walking past us, it took every ounce of my being not to completely lose it in the hallway.
So now I have a gift for my baby girl and every time I look at those pacifiers, instead of being sad for her brothers and sisters that I lost, I'm going to try and focus on how she has a small part of them with her.
Oh that's so sweet, and so very sad. You have a good friend. But to hear that about those pacifiers - oh, now I have a tear...
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and so sweet. And, yes, also sad. But, you're right, your little girl will always have that part of her siblings.
ReplyDeleteAwww.... *tears*
ReplyDeleteI find it comforting to think of my angel as a guardian angel for Boo. Your little lady's siblings are with her and watching over her. ((hugs))
People become so amazingly thoughtful when it comes to giving random and unexpected baby gifts. Very sweet of her!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet friend!!! And a happy moment, yay for happy moments!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome gift:) and I just read your last post and I am so happy you are feeling her move...That will give you so much more comfort feeling her everyday...and Grace is a beautiful middle name...Love it!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet of her, and the comment after... very sweet.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great friend! And you're right--your little Nittany Lion will always have a part of her siblings with her. That's such a beautiful, sweet though.
ReplyDeleteWow. That's so sweet, that she's had them for you, and your baby, all this time, and that she told you about it. :-) Really touching.
ReplyDeleteAwe, what a wonderful unexpected surprise!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet. :) She's been thinking of you and wishing you the best for a long time.
ReplyDeleteMy mom did the same thing - she's been bringing out outfits and hair bows she bought way back when hubby and I got married. We weren't even sure we wanted kids way back then!
Awww. What a thoughtful friend.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet and thoughtful gift. =)
ReplyDeleteaww.. wow, I don't think I'd be able to keep it together! :)
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwww! What an incredibly thoughtful and sweet gift. :) I hope you are still doing well.
ReplyDeleteWow...what a touching story. I'm sure she was so happy to be able to give you that gift. I'm happy that she was able to give them to you, too. It's a sign of great things to come.
ReplyDeleteWhat a kind friend. I'm tearing up a little, too, at the way she waited all this time to give them to you. Definitely a piece of the lost babies lies in this little one.
ReplyDeleteThat is so, so sweet.
ReplyDeleteLovely, Kelly. So very, very glad.
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful friend! Beautiful post.
