Two things happened this year that really made my heart smile and choke up at the same time. The first one was as I was decorating the tree, Foxy (my husband) was staring intently and I defensively asked what he was staring at!! He commented, "Layla and Michael". I had put the ornaments that I had done for them myself. Foxy doesn't speak about the babies much, and I don't expect him to, I know he thinks of them often and is sad about them too. Sometimes the acknowledgement is very fulfilling for me and makes me feel not alone!
Then later as my sister was helping me decorate the tree she said, "Layla and Michael sure do have a lot of ornaments!". Yes, they do! They are special and loved and taught me so much throughout the past 4 years. I appreciate that they are remembered, honored, and spoken of by name.
The next ones are from the annual walk to remember held here in Tyler to honor lost babies at our Children's park! I've actually not been able to make it to one, but got these ornaments last year!
These are from my sweet Kindred Spirit, Andrea, and I cherish her remembering my babies!!!

I agree totally with the sentiment. Your post just has me speechless - in a good way. Christmas is really such a bittersweet time of year for us now as I also wonder 'what would life be like if....' - Merry Christmas!!

ReplyDeleteVery, very sweet post. The ornaments are a very good way to celebrate Layla and Michael this time of year. They know that you are thinking of them and that is so special.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful tree and such a beautiful way to honor your sweet angels. Picturing them dancing with angels in heaven brings such a sweet, peaceful picture to my mind:)
ReplyDeleteHi there. This is my first time to your blog. I haven't had chance to read your whole blog, but am really sorry for your losses. I also wanted to ask if you had heard about embroyo adoption or might consider that(No chance of BM changing minds, and depending of quality of embroyos they may have less risk to miscarriage) We just recently got pregnant this way on the first transfer. If you have questions, write me on my blog or let me know how I can contact you.
