How We Will Honor Our Girl On The 1 year Anniversary of Her Birth

Birdie's birthday is going to be quiet, simple, full of love and tears.

A few months ago I asked Matt what he would like to do for Birdie's Day, or what he was thinking about for her day. Some time ago I had felt and thought it would be nice to just go to the local children's shop and get her a beautiful gift, then maybe go for a walk in the woods, and finally come home and bake her a little cake. When we talked about it together, we were both in agreement. So, I think that is what we are going to do. I hope to also read her some stories and at night light candles upon our mantle, which has become an alter for her. Last night at our local SHARE meeting we were asked about what we were thinking of doing, if we had any plans. It was nice to hear what other families have done for their little ones, and to share our plans for Birdie's Day.

I know it's going to be tough, and the day before will be hard to as I was happily in labor with her and we were so excited to meet her. Well we got to meet our beloved, but it was too late to meet her in life.

I concur with the other posters. I have a little something for you guys but it isn't done yet. I wanted you to have it on her birthday, but for obvious reasons I wasn't able to get it finished. I hope the weather is beautiful for you.
Love to all,
Meg

I think that is so wonderful you will celebrate Birdies day. I can sort of imagine how hard it will be at the same time but she is very much alive in your hearts and many of ours.

I'll be thinking about you, Erin.
Yesterday was Georgia's birthday and it was actually a relief to spend an entire day thinking about her without forcing myself to go about daily life.
I hope you have a peaceful and healing day.
