Sweetest little one, today is April 28th...and you would have been 8 weeks old. We miss you so much little darling girl. Today we did some really nice things in memory of you.
We went to a sheep and wool craft fair, where we saw some really cute little sheeps, and some big sheeps. They were all so sweet and gentle, it was so hard not to imagine you touching their soft newly sheared bodies and giggling with excitement. For Mama & Papa it was so nice to be near the sheep and to touch them. It has always been very healing for us to be surrounded by animals, they are so gentle and sweet. We saw a few (human) babies today, that was very hard and painful but somehow it was bearable. Well, to a point it was, the last one we saw (was very new) was being carried by its Mama in a baby wrap...that was too much for me, we left immediately.
Next we went to visit one of my grandfathers graves (which I hadn't done in a long time...too long) the afternoon was so nice and it felt so nice to have a visit. We had one of your remembrance cards and so we dug into the earth a little, and placed the card in the soil right next to your great grandfathers headstone. The sun was shining on you both, together and so peaceful.
When we got home from our adventures Papa began digging the hole to plant your magnolia tree. Papa did a great job digging the hole, then we mixed the soil from the ground with some planting soil we had bought. As we were placing the tree into the earth the little girl next door came over and helped us to place the soil in the hole and around the tree. She is a very nice little girl Birdie, you would really like her. Well, then we watered your tree a couple of times, let the water settle and placed the final touches of soil around the tree and the planting of your tree was done. What a lovely tree your tree is Birdie...its so beautiful and smells beautiful just like you.
We are so excited to watch your tree grow my love. Your tree will grow as our love for you grows...forever and ever...as long as forever is.
(I will post a photo of Birdie's tree tomarrow)
All our love Birdie.
Love, Mama & Papa

Ohh sweet mama (you will always be a mama)...you have so much love in that heart, a heart that will continue to expand and feel and cry and laugh. Your Birdie will always be in that expansion, in every corner of it, her energy swelling you from within always. And her tree will be nutured and grow, roots strong and proud in the mother earth. She will sway and dance in the gentle breeze and be bathed in the cool rains and soak up the warmth of the sun. You will witness her beauty, all around you.
I send you peace and love, so much peace and love.
I love you and your little Birdie tho I never have met you. It doens't matter...these types of things connect us all. :) Always,
Namaste,
Leigh
i know any words that i say, have been said before. my heart breaks for you. she is beautiful. simply, beautiful.
I wish there was a way that no parent had to go through the hurt you're facing.
I wish there were enough words to erase your pain.
But know that even people you don't know are offering up good thoughts that you'll eventually find your sense of balance in handling everything.
