Today I bought a blanket. I saw it when I walked into the store, hanging with other throw blankets. It was cream and blue and brown, in a mod circle pattern. The first thing that hit me was that it was something I would have bought for Devin’s room – it would have matched perfectly. My step faltered with the thought, but I turned and headed straight towards it, instead of angling away. It was so soft when I touched it… so perfect for a baby. That sealed the deal. I bought it.<\/p>\n
I took a nap with it today. And at night when I rolled into Den’s arms for our nighttime snuggle I pulled it with me, clutched tight under my arm.<\/p>\n
I told Den that it was the kind of throw blanket I would use to put down for a baby to play on… for Devin to play on. I paused and grabbed Sheepie, and sat him on the blanket.<\/p>\n
There’s still sitting there, Sheepie and the blanket, between my husband and me on the bed. I look over, touch the soft blanket, and smile. He would have liked that blanket.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
