What do you hold on to after foster child leaves?

My first long term placement is leaving soon (2 years old, with me for a year). I hadn't thought about keeping something physical of hers, but now that you mention it, a blankee might be really nice.... something to hold on those lonely days of missing her...Her older sister (also with me for a year) gave me a plaque when she left that is OH so sweet, that I will treasure forever. It says, "Thank you Alisa, for leading me to Christ and for always being by my side this past year. You're the best "Mamma" anyone could have." I believe that our little ones would say this and much, much more to us if they could. You have changed the course of their lives... hold on to that.
