This week, I wore my precious pale pink pedal pushers for the first time. Big deal, right? Well, it kinda was...
I fell in love with them on a pre- birthday shopping trip with my mom two years ago. I hate shopping, and rarely find things I like, so to love these pants was a big deal. But alas, they were out of my size. Go figure.
They said that they could have the right size shipped from another store, so that's what we did! Yay! And then my pants got delayed. Somehow, they weren't going to make it until summer was over.
The disappointment was completely overshadowed when I found out that I was pregnant! I wouldn't need fit into the pants anyway! Unfortunately, our first sweet baby went to meet Jesus before ever meeting us. It was devastating. Not long after, I got a phone call letting me know that the pale pink pedal pushers were no longer available, and I'd be getting a refund.
Y'all, it was just a pair of pants. I could probably make them if I really wanted to. But it felt like they represented the story of my journey.
One day in early fall, a package arrived. It was the pale pink pedal pushers! By this time, I was pregnant with Taters, and they were out of season, so I tucked them away in my closet. The following summer, my sweet girl was born and my body wasn't quite ready for the flat-fronted goodness of my pants. So July 3, 2014, I wore them for the first time... Exactly two years after our sweet baby passed on to heaven.
Through the journey, these pink linen pants have cone to represent hope even when the reports are against you. They will always remind me of the sweet baby I will one day hold, and of the blessing it is to hold the one I have.
