Remembering...

Today was a hard day, but the weeks leading up to it were much worse. We planted a tree to remember our baby today since today was the day that we should have been holding him or her.
We love you forever, baby, and we won't forget you.

  2. (((Melissa))) I also lost a baby at 11 weeks back in January. I'm not looking forward to his due date. I don't know yet what we will do to honor his memory, but planting a tree is a lovely idea. Many, many hugs and prayers for you...

  9. I also lost my baby about 2 months ago. We planted a weeping willow shortly after that in his/her memory. Fall is usually my favorite time of year but I'm not looking forward to it this year. I'll be praying for you.

  10. Coming out of lurkdom to offer a hug. What a lovely way to remember your lost little one. Though we have 4 children, I will never forget the babe that we lost after only knowing I was pregnant for a week. I'm quite certain that my husband doesn't remember that due date, but I still sure do.

  16. Hugs to you. I've been through this 5 times. I wish a little that I had been able to do something like plant a tree ... but never really thought about it. The ache has faded - but I still miss those babies and wonder what they would have been like. Hugs again.
