as a mother who has lost her only child only months ago, I now find myself looking at expectant mothers and remember my own pregnancy. although my daughter was 31 when she left me it's as though it was just yesterday that I was rubbing my bulging belly and singing to her, buying the little things my precious gift will need, deciding what to name her. Oh how it hurts. So much pain.
When my little granddaughter died we let off balloons on her birth date as she didn't make it that far... a friend who had lost her daughter that year also let off a balloon for her and I let off one for her child too.. I think it was a dolphin.. one of them ... and then all those years later when Brandon died and a lone dolphin swam by like she was saying goodbye to him or us or both... and the last time he had been in the sea a couple of days earlier two dolphins had swam by 'waving'... a big one and a little one.. a mama and her baby?... maybe HER baby was gone too...
Davi - oh God these days are just so hard. I lost my son on Dec.1 2 years ago. I think you should do something because you are thinking of it so much - perhaps you have heard a little voice telling you what would allow you to honor your child. We did a really simple thing. We had my son's best friends over (like 4-5 people) and We all wrote notes (on pieces of paper in his favorite color - purple and slime green!) to Daniel and released balloons together. We all stood in silence til we could no longer see the balloons. They all stayed together and made made amazing patterns. It was so sweet and gave everyone a chance to put some feelings down on paper. Wondering if I will do the same this year or something different. Somehow thought it would get easier put I'm pretty much a mess. I wish I could ride a balloon to heaven.
Happy Birthday Lynn!!!
