Gratitude.
There is still a lot to be thankful for.
If you attended Tanner’s Celebration of Life, you would have seen me in bright orange blouse to match his favorite cape, which I also wore. My Tan-Man LOVED all clothing bright orange. The brighter the better!
It pained me yesterday to pass up these bright orange hightops which Tanner would have found to be the coolest shoes EVER.
Not buying them was a painful reminder that my child is dead.
So I bought them.
I am therefore so very grateful God has placed a three-year-old nephew into my world who shares so many of Tanner’s affinities, including his love of bright orange. I’m also grateful for a sister who will be understanding when her munchkin comes home wearing these and likely insists on them with every future outfit.
Some things I just can’t pass up.
