It's super surreal to remember the last time we were here at Mt Rainier. We had already conceived Gracie, we just didn't know it yet. The profile picture from blogger to the right is the first picture we have after her conception, a little over a year ago. The above picture is from our trip there last weekend and technically she's still in the picture because I'm wearing a locket with her ashes in it.
Baby Girl,
I'm so thankful for the time we had with you. I wish it were more but I know we will all be together someday for real and not just in a family pictures with your ashes. I'm so glad we can look back and remember that you were with us at Mt. Rainier last time. It was Gavin's first time camping in a tent and also yours too. We had a wonderful time, the weather was perfect and we had a great spot for camping. Aunt Dot and Cody were visiting. We had a snowball fight. We had know idea our time with you would be so short. Now we cherish each moment.
I love you baby girl. -Mamma

ReplyDeleteOh Monica, I am just bawling reading through your posts and although our situations are very different I can relate to SO many of the things you have said. As I read through your posts I kept thinking, that is what I have wanted to write about, or that is exactly how I feel. I have been encouraged reading about your faith and the peace that God has provided you with. Thanks for coming over to my blog and commenting so I could find you. You will be in my prayers!
ReplyDeleteHi Monica, I just found your blog and your post made me cry. I read some of your older posts and you have been through so much. I have experienced a miscarriage, a different type of loss but still a loss. Losing our babies is something I wish that no woman had to go through. I started my website, angelbracelets.org because I want to help other women like us. We publish the stories of lost babies and I would love to pubilsh Gracie's, if you would like you can submit it through our website. We also raise money for pregnancy/infant loss organizations through the sale of our memorial bracelets.
