To two very loved companions!
Diaper Bag. You have done so well through two babies (and then) toddlers! You have been packed not only with bottles, diapers, wipes galore, changes of clothes, burb cloths, and bibs but with snacks and crayons, and toys, and books, and shoes, and pjs, and the list is never ending!
You even still smell like a baby/toddler...
Diaper Bag, you have now been sitting in our laundry room closet for (at least) a year and have not been used. You have collected a tad bit of dust and so, so sadly I need to realize you are no longer a part of our everyday life anymore! You did us so well never once failing us, but it is now time to nestle you snuggly in a contained box for someone else who may really need you to make new memories. You will be missed. A chapter has now officially closed.
Church bag, let me say that I am SO sorry! You have been through a lot!! You have been stuffed full with bottles, snacks, and books. You have also gotten sticky, dirty, and smelly. You have taken the abuse in such stride and have not ripped or broken a strap no matter how much was shoved into you! You were a good home for our books about God and Jesus. You also kept ALL of our church snacks from air puffs to crackers to fruit snacks safe and secure. Although I would love to store you, I need to bid you farewell and send you away. Thank you for all your hard work for the last 6+ years!!
Is it ok to actually (seriously) shed a tear as I write about losing my close confidants... forever? It is just amazing to think... I thought I would never stop lugging those bags around, and now... sad to actually see them go! A chapter has really closed. I will not have another baby/toddler again... ok, getting too emotion. Done.
