For Sale: Childhood Toys, great for boys age 6-10
Several years ago we had something very bad happen in our family. Our only son lost his life at only nine years old. He was killed in a hit-and-run accident while he was walking to school. It was eight years ago last month that we lost David, but police still have not been able to identify who was driving. Throughout the past years, we have done all we could to hold onto David. We’ve kept his room the same, held onto all of his possessions, his clothes, everything. With all that we’ve held onto however, we’ve also held onto our sorrow. Every time I walk upstairs towards David’s room, I am unable to control myself. I feel as though I’m back on that fateful day, when I lost my little boy.
A while back however, my husband and I started seeing a therapist, and she has been encouraging us to move on with our lives, of course still remembering our son, but not letting our lives revolve around his memory. Until recently, this idea seemed completely impossible. But upon the eight year anniversary of his death, and the continued lack of any report from the police, we’ve realized that we need to begin to find some closure. And so, we have decided to sell some of David’s old toys and other possessions in the hope that they will make some other child as happy as they once made David. They are still in perfectly good condition and are only slightly used. The items range from bathroom tub toys and stuffed animals to matchbox cars and action figures. Any young boy is sure to enjoy them, but here, we just have no more purpose to serve.
