16 Jan 1537


I don’t know what to do with Dodo’s pram.

The pram was one of her favourite belongings, probably only second to her bed. It is still in the living room, as it always has been. The pram is a painful reminder of our loss. And yet, I can’t really bear to remove it. It was after one of her most beloved items and what would she think if she knows I have disposed of it? And even if I want to dispose of it, what is the best option? Give it to someone? Give it to an animal shelter? Throw it away? Or what?

All her grooming items are still sitting in the kitchen cupboard. I don’t quite have the courage to pack away her ear wash, eye wash, brush, scissors etc. To pack away and remove all these would be to acknowledge that she’s really gone, not coming back and never ever going to need all these again, wouldn’t it?

Her clothes are still in the yellow cupboard in the living room, stacked neatly in the transparent box. I am quite tempted to keep them all. After all, they are so pretty and I can remember her as she looks in each one of them.
