Her son who passed away when he was 2 years old. Every time I put those clothes on my boy, I pause and think about alot of things, but mostly how grateful I am for his life, for his being here, with us. Clothes do trigger very deep emotions, it's not silly at all.Wendy Huninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047548825560322741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35860543.post-41017320486224178382008-12-11T14:44:00.000-05:002008-12-11T14:44:00.000-05:00nothing silly about it. When our boys came to us,...nothing silly about it. When our boys came to us, the clothes they were wearing, are now in a sealed plactic bag in storage. I will never give them away.

I still keep clothing of significance from our children as well, such as the outfit our daughter was wearing at three months old when she was handed to me by our agency social worker, and the outfits from our adoption finalizations - they do hold such special memories.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03603244678280067360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35860543.post-10273449652618501422008-12-11T00:35:00.000-05:002008-12-11T00:35:00.000-05:00Do the boys know that their beloved little sister ...Do the boys know that their beloved little sister is wearing their clothes from when they were babies?
