What do these pictures all have in common??
Besides Carter being in them all...
It's nothing cancer related....
That's right! His precious blue blanket! He has had that blanket since birth and it has always been his most prized possession. It has been through quite a journey alongside Mr. Carter. It was his constant sleeping companion. It's been dragged through many a playdate and roadtrip. Everywhere Carter went, the blanket was there. He always HAD to have it with him. And all those rough hospital days were made a little easier when he had his blue blanket. As we journeyed to our new home in France, the blue blanket somehow escaped his possession. I still don't know exactly where we lost it. It was on the plane with us to Paris but I'm not sure it got off with us. If it did, I'm not sure it left the airport with us the next day. Or maybe it's final resting place is the train we took to Nice. I'm not sure, but it's gone. Carter is very sad that it's gone but I think I might be more upset about it than he is. I'm a sentimental fool I guess. That sweet blanket represents so much to me. It reminds me of how brave my little boy is. How strong and smart and thoughtful. And now it's gone. We've been searching for a suitable replacement ever since we discovered it's disappearance but nothing has been quite good enough. One day while we were skyping with my mom Carter told her the sad tale of the lost blanket. He promptly ordered up a new one from Grandma.
Yesterday, this came in the mail:
I'm so glad Carter likes his new blanket. With you all so far away there is not so much we can do to help and support you, this was an easy and very welcome opportunity. It was my honor. We sure love you!!!
