Carly Marie Challenge Day 17: Treasured

17. TREASURED | Do you have any treasured belongings that remind your of your child? What are they and what do they mean to you?

Patrick loved these Adidas shoes. He mostly saved them for special occasions. As I look at pictures of him in the last year or two of his life, he was often wearing them. He special ordered them because he wanted kelly green suede and he had a fairly small foot.

After Patrick’s death Brendan wore these shoes and Patrick’s class ring when he wanted to have his brother close by. Shane wore them a few times too while he was living with us. At some point, we all agreed that the shoes were starting to wear too much and we should save them. I’m not sure for what, but we are saving them.
