Solly: Mommy, I didn't do that.
Me: Hmm....so who did?
Solly: Sammy.
It's been 103 days and Solly has turned Sammy into his imaginary friend. He still yells at us to "bring Sam here," especially when he's overtired.
It's been 103 days. Solly has discovered Sammy's stash of pajamas:
It's been 103 days and one of Sammy's socks showed up in the clean laundry basket today:
It's been 103 days and I cry in the car.
It's been 103 days and kids with cancer are in the news.
It's been 103 days and I'm still counting days.
It's been 103 days and I wonder sometimes if it was all just a dream....

Sammy is Solly's *real* friend -- in his heart and very much on his mind...as he is for all of you...and for so, so many of us.

ReplyDeleteKeeping the dream alive, thanks to you--and Solly. Real tears, real love.
ReplyDelete103 days... I would still be counting, too.
ReplyDeleteYour counting--of everything--makes so much sense to me. I read every post, but don't often comment. This post--with those PJS and everything. . . Well, they all hit me, but this hit me the hardest.
ReplyDeleteMy father dreamed of his brother, and they had conversations for the longest time. Solly may really be in touch with Sammy when asleep.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat. We've had our fair share of operations and hospital stays with my oldest son, but nothing like this. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Thank you for sharing so honestly.
ReplyDeleteWeeping with you, again, still, always.
