Sorry I haven't been around here much lately. I will try to do better.
Next month, we are coming up on one year post loss. I'm obviously still sad about losing our boys, but don't cry nearly as much as I used to. I was trying to decide how to remember them on the day of 8/16. For those of you that have past the 1 year mark, did you do anything special? We have their ashes in an urn that I keep on my nightstand. Several friends raised funds and planted a tree at a local park in their name. I was thinking about visiting the park on 8/16. I was also thinking about planting a tree in our yard or getting a tattoo to remember them by. What have you done? Any other ideas?

Re: One year post loss coming up
I think a visit to the park would be nice. Maybe you can have a little picnic or write your boys a letter or recite a poem to them. Or just sit and reflect.
I haven't reached the one year mark for Sylvie but we've talked a little bit about how to "remember" her. We're thinking of planting an oak tree at my parents house and making a donation in her name to the SPCA.
