Kitty

 This is kitty. Aiden found kitty at the DI a couple years ago. I have no idea what it was that made him feel like bringing this cat home was worth his while, maybe to bring it home for Colton or something, but everyone loved kitty and I always thought it was so funny, of all the random things he could have found 😆 He brought it home and gave it a bath, the picture in the sink was from his phone 🥲❤️

After Aiden passed, I started carrying kitty around in my purse. I have no idea why, other than grief just does crazy things to people. It helped me to have something of Aiden's that I could hold onto as I went through the really hard things. Mortuary visits, his viewing, the funeral, graduation...having kitty there seemed to help in some small way for whatever reason.

For the last couple months, kitty has been sitting by my pillow. He'll probably stay there, maybe graduate to my beside table one of these days (I just had to ask trav what those are actually called... Nightstands apparently 😆 unless you've worked in Healthcare for like, 25 years...then it's bedside table and u can't even remember the other name anymore Lol😉😆)

Anyway, love you buddy ❤️ I love that u brought this crazy little cat home and I'm glad he's here for us to hold onto on the days we miss u most and feel like he might help....we love kitty.  Maybe u knew we'd need him someday🥲❤️😢💔

Peter Iredale Shipwreck

 These were from Astoria and the Peter Iredale shipwreck on the Oregon coast. We went and saw the Goonies House, Astoria Column, and the cool ships in the harbor. The kids really liked the shipwreck and it was really fun to go visit, they loved playing in the sand and on the beach, and Aiden was such a good sport and let everyone bury him. He was always the ringleader when it came to finding all the fun things to do🥲❤️

Sleep Shenanigans

Image
 Aiden and his sleeping shenanigans was the funniest thing ever. He was always sleep walking, sleep talking, and when he got tired, it didn't matter where he was, he would just tip over. I can't even count how many times he fell asleep at the dinner table 😆 He rarely made it through movies. One time at a hotel he almost sleep walked out the door in the middle of the night, luckily it had one of those locks at the top so every time he pulled the door it slammed into that and woke me up! Another time he came walking out to the living room and we had a set of stairs between it and his room. He sat down on the stairs and I was like, "hey buddy, whatcha doin?" he looked at me and said, "what does it look like I'm doing?" and laid down on a stair and went back to sleep. The first 2 pics of this set is one of my favorite memories, we rode a ferry from Seattle to Victoria B. C. and while we were waiting for dinner, he totally just tipped over and fell asleep at...

Don't Go Out and Break Your Stupid Arm

Image
Oh Mr. Aiden... This whole incident was just CRAZY 🤦 One day Aiden wanted to go and climb the tree in our yard. I was cooking dinner and didn't want him to, and as he was walking out the door I said, "you better be careful! Don't go out there and break your stupid arm!" 5 minutes later, he came back in all pale, nauseous, and covered in dirt and was like, "mom, I think I broke my arm" and I was like YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!! I told you NOT to go out and do that!!!  I took one look at it and was like, yep...arms are definitely not supposed to look like that...that's broken. And indeed it was...displaced and everything, and of course ended up needing surgery🤦 So surgery day came, and I told him multiple times.... Nothing to eat or drink after midnight. We had to be there really early in the morning so as I'm getting ready I hear some rustling out in the kitchen and yelled, what are you doing!? You better not be eating! Silence. So I go running...
