Just wanted to share a sweet and yes a little crazy - story with you. i bought a crib. i've always wanted an iron crib like the old antique ones but the new ones are outrageously expensive so before we were pregnant i'd check craigslist every so often, then when we got pregnant that's one of the first things i put my mother in law in search of - she's always finding great yardsales and thrift stores. well this weekend i for some reason got on craigslist and looked up iron cribs - i found one. it's 3 yrs old, used by one little boy. the very same one, brand new retails for $900 - i've seen it on boutique websites so i knew the brand and price. it was listed for $500 which was still too much but it had been listed for a month so i thought maybe i'll just go see. well i got it for $275! so that was exciting but i was still a little like, did i make the right decision spending that money? but then this - after making tha deal we were talking and the dad mentioned that his son's name is luke!! not only that but he is a very special boy - as luke's are =) - he was born with a very, very rare chromosomal abnormality, two heart defects, and a cleft palate. he was in the NICU for about the first year of life. he is three now and doing very well! of course i told the dad about my luke and right before i left the dad said "well now you really have a luke-bed".
=)
i smiled so big for the next two hours my face hurt!
I know that it was a little crazy that I buy that bed, I realize that. but that bed was meant to be ours, my friend said i can't ever get rid of that bed and i won't!
i love moments like this, these are my luke memories and i thank God for them because I know they are from Him and because they give me moments to make memories of luke even without having Luke here.
