I have still been steadily participating in the photo challenge but just haven't been able to keep up the blog each day so here is the wrap-up of the last 4 days.
Day 9: Special place
This one was hard. I used Bailey's grave on day 5 so I had to really think about another special place. We have moved around a lot and with Bailey buried in VA and us not being there to visit, we started going to cemeteries that are local and visiting. I have always had a connection with cemeteries and I am quite at peace there. I walk through, read the names, say little prayers, take pictures, and leave flowers on those tiny baby graves. I can't do that for my daughter right now so it is comforting to do it for someone else.
Day 10: Symbol
I don't have just one. There are many things that remind me of my babies. Butterflies, dragonflies, their initials ABC, and more. I think the one that brings me the most comfort is the sky, looking to the heavens and the clouds, and feeling like they are so much closer than they really are.
Day 11: Supportive Friends and Family
I have had so much support since reaching out to the online community. I am afraid to list everyone because I'm scared I will leave someone out. You all know who you are, you know you are precious to my heart! My family is supportive as well but most importantly I think is my rainbow. He is my world and he knows all about his siblings and understands my grief. We can talk openly about life and death and Heaven. He is my rock and my reason to be strong.
Day 12: Scents
I don't have any particular scents that remind me of my babies specifically. Nothing that can take me back to the hospital or even the cemetery. But this time of year, fall, reminds of them. So the scents of the season remind me of Bailey especially. Pumpkin spice, apple pies, and cider.
