I gotten this candle after enjoying a Sex as well as the City episode in which Miranda realizes that Steve is THE ONE during their kid Brady’s very first birthday. I provided it to my then-boyfriend on our one-year dating anniversary as a memento of our love.
Being a emotional pack-rat, I saved it.
My then-boyfriend ended up being my now-husband. When our rookie infant turned one, I kept in mind our special candle as well as put it on his birthday cake. Aww. We didn’t understand if we’d have any type of a lot more kids however I couldn’t throw out the candle either way.
Shortly after Holden turned one, I ended up being expecting with infant number two. quick ahead to Milo’s very first birthday, once again I brought out the candle. Holden, nearly-three, mistook it for a treat as well as ate off a hunk of wax before I noticed. See the teeth marks? I figured we were made with kids, however I held onto my candle just the same.
When Sawyer had his very first birthday, I scrounged around for this mangled, burned-out treasure as well as hauled it to Florida for his special day.
Now that we’re done having babies, I still keep it in a kitchen area drawer. I assumption the wonderful mixed-up memories of like make me hold onto it.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
