Rebekah got a new I-pod for Christmas, thank to a very generous Grandma & Grandpa. She was, of course, absolutely thrilled and very excited, and in the spirit of good-will and generosity immediately passed on her old I-pod to Mark and I. That was wonderful and I know we will enjoy having it. Before she left to go back to school, we synced it to my computer, which left I-tunes on my laptop with all her favorite music pre-loaded.
I find myself sitting quietly in the afternoons, when the younger of my home daycare kids are napping (or at least supposed to be), and I open I-tunes and press shuffle to randomly listen to all the music that makes her so happy. Invariably, it makes me smile. I conjures up real, vivid memories of her, and when I'm sitting here missing her so very much, it's nice to have that little bit of her still here.

How nice of her to do that for you! You'll always have a piece of her with you!

Very Sweet. What a wonderful way to stay close.
Love your header and the quote below it.
Aww. It is just so hard. This post breaks my heart.
I'm glad you have that part of her with you to comfort you. :)
that is so sweet! i love that :) enjoy your musical moments thinking of your daughter.
Love it! I have an iPod, but I don't use it nearly as much as I should. I enjoy music ... I just end up streaming music through Pandora ...
BTW, how sweet that she gave you her hand me downs ... I long for that day!
