The synchronicity that can unfold is amazing. I love the way you are able to go with the flow and appreciate what the universe has to offer in the moment!

A couple of us were down with a nasty, but quickly-over, stomach virus, so I haven't been on the computer much, but I knew it was "the big date." The one we all dread more than anything. How a number on a calender has the ability to bring us to our knees is beyond my comprehension, but I know for me, often the days leading up to "the date" are often worse than the date itself. I hope that was the case, and that all of you were able to find some peace and some joy in Ellie's Heaven Day. I love your analogy of approaching the day as you approached giving birth--it is so true, how similar they both are. Somehow we do find the answers, only this time, without the gratification :-( I have no words of wisdom here....just know that I understand.

You are so right about the passing of that first year. It is different, and feels like sand slipping between your fingers, when you can no longer say to yourself "this time last year, I was doing "___" with my sweet girl. I don't know if this is something you feel would be helpful (because as you know, nothing much helps), but Santa leaves a new ornament each year in Vivian's stocking. The first year was an angel holding a banner with her name on it, and last year I got the Hallmark Memorial ornament--it was a shell with a pearl and had a fitting quote on it. Between those ornaments, and the angel ornament we get each year from the Grief Recovery center (where we went for counseling), plus the two ornaments I made for Vivian for her only two Christmases, I had enough for a tiny pink tree with just her ornaments. I didn't want to put them on the big tree since they are breakable and Alden is taking the tree apart several times a day! We also leave a lighted candle burning above her stocking during Advent, and through the Epiphany. You are all in my heart and prayers every day. My eyes are filled with tears as I read this.

And what Kip said is one of the few, appropriate, empowering statements people can make to someone who has lost a child. Because unless you've been through it, you really can't imagine. Much love to you and to your beautiful family. Have a blessed Thanksgiving. Love, Lisa Beautiful, priceless pictures Debi!

We were there for my granddaughter's 3rd birthday and I was sort of frazzled as I was in charge since my daughter had a newborn to care for. Your children are beautiful! Here is a link to the NY Times - an article eloquent and heartbreaking and maybe it is not what you want to read, however - just in case - I thought of your poignant writings/expressions and thought maybe you would appreciate her writings.
