My mood while writing this blog: Bittersweet moments |
Ever since I was a little girl I loved weeping willow trees. There is one in the yard of the house I grew up in, I'm glad my mom still lives there. We bought one to plant in our yard, but I thought, how much more special would this tree be if it was a memorial for our baby? Our miscarriage was 8/11 and we sent the sac and embryo to pathology for testing, so we did not have that to bury. I did however save part of the placenta that came out a few days later, and it's been in a bag in my fridge waiting to be buried. We buried it in the roots of our memorial tree. As the tree grows it will be a constant reminder of our little one and will hopefully be a fun tree house tree for future children. They will know just how special this tree is. It's the last little bit of closure I needed before TTC again. May our sweet little baby rest in peace and bring an amazing life to this special tree. Pic on my blog.

Monday, 28 Sep Thats a lovely idea I love weeping willows too. I planted a small weeping willow after my 1st mc but unfortunatley we moved a year later. I have got my ashes from this mc and I can't decide what to do with them. We only have a small garden at the front of our house and we would need to move when we have a little one. They are still on the side in my bedroom. Blessedbeyondbelief -
