L wrote some things for me on post-it notes before her leave. She wrote some short-worded memories (i.e. belly touching, tattoos, handholding, etc.). She also wrote some advice (1. Validate feelings 2. Get in your window 3. One thing at a time.). There is also the phrase "Little SP doesn't need to fight all the monsters on her own anymore". And "What would L say to me right now".
We have other things that she's written in our scrapbook. Some things are phrases/language we use. There are more memories or endearments and our definition of love.
When I read this, I read writing and transitional object, and my mind went straight to getting something little, in his handwriting, transferred to something cloth like a pillow in embroidery. Might be too far out there, but that's what went through my mind.
I don't know if any of that helps.
