cake topper


So, this is my wedding cake topper. I'm cleaning out my bedroom to prepare to move. I'm throwing away things I don't want...etc.

This is weird.

I don't know what to do with this. I am absolutely keeping the wedding album. It's got my FAVORITE pics of my dad and I in it. It was a fun day.

This, I just don't know what to do with. Do I throw it away...do I keep it?

I just don't know. Some things are hurtful to look at right now. Some things, I can almost distance myself enough from to not feel anything about it.

The cake topper...wow. I just don't know. I really loved it. We had a "gazebo" theme. It was perfect.

It's part of my life, the wedding and all. It's why I have my sons. But, to see those two people on there is sort of hard.

blah

Maybe I should donate it. Maybe someone would buy it for the porcelain figures and make something beautiful from it for their own wedding.

This day has been hard. Throwing away years of memories from my bedroom. I'm a pack rat. Today has been like a living nightmare of going through things and deciding what's worth moving and what's not.

Weird.

Almost surreal.

This whole year so far.

That is a dilemma! If you keep it, it's a reminder. If you lose it, you might want it. Sigh. Such is the dilemma of a pack rat.

I think I'm going to donate it and my wedding gown to somewhere like Good Will. Someone will be able to enjoy it that way. It's not like I have daughters to pass this stuff along to...and I don't see my sons wanting these things either. Like Wendi keeps telling me, "The more you throw away, the less you'll have to move!"
