Memorial Day (This article in memoriam of "Fish Binky")

Happy Memorial Day everyone! We had a great day visiting the cemetery in Heber where Jeff's Grandpa and Grandma Tree, and Uncles are buried. I found myself thinking a lot about my two Grandpa's who both died 5 years ago this past spring.
As we got home from Heber that evening, neither of us could find Boston's binky "fish." (it is a blue and green camoflauge binky with a dolphin on it) We both have been trying to figure out how we were going to wean him off of it. He has always loved his binky! Guess we're going cold-turkey. I explained to Boston that we left fish binky at Grandma's house, and asked him if he could sleep without it. He cried, and spent the next hour or so whimpering that he wanted fish binky. I could hear his little voice through the vent in our bedroom. He finally went to sleep and didn't make a sound all night! And guess what??? He has not asked for his binky since then. One sad night and it was over. He has spent all week without it! Hallelujah! I eventually found it in the cupholder of the car, and told Jeff we need to get a box and bury it in the yard somewhere. Then, next year when we celebrate Memorial Day again, we can keep little fish binky in our thoughts, and Jeff said we could get a flower to put on its grave. We'll probably have to bury it without Boston, the services will be too much for him to handle.
So, there you have it. Goodbye binky fish! I am surprisingly very sad you are gone....it just takes you another step away from being my baby, and into the big boy you're turning into!
