Deck of cards - week 8

This week's prompt was about shoes. I had a 'shoe maniac'-period some years ago, but instead of writing about my shoe shopping, I'd like to share a tiny story with you.

The baby shoes on the picture are the shoes I used when I was a baby, and also the shoes I used when taking my first steps. As you can see, they're well used :)

My mum has kept the shoes all these years, but last year I got them back. After years of trying, I finally got pregnant and my old baby shoes were a gift to me and the baby to come. So cute, and I loved the gift! I was really longing for trying the tiny baby shoe on my baby's tiny baby foot.

Unfortunately, I lost my 'baby to come' after only a few weeks.

So, these shoes symbolizes so much: memories, my first steps, motherhood, hopes and sorrows, dreams and longings, past and future.
