TTC After a Loss 6 Months+

I love how many of us love elephants (6 + Mascot Mentioned)

I'm thinking (no offense to Humphrey) that maybe the elephant would be a great TTCAL 6+months mascot.

My reason is this: Elephants understand grief. They embrace the bereaved and stand in support of them as long as they need. That's us. That's what we are all about.

(I have a whole long sappy blog post about this as well)

What do you all think? I would be happy to make badges!

(If you think hell no, you Humphrey cheating ho, I really won't be offended. I promise!)

Re: I love how many of us love elephants (6 + Mascot Mentioned)

  • I see no reason why Humphrey and the elephant cannot coexist. Make a badge! I need some different stuff in my siggy anyway. I need to get rid of the riding the BFP wave badge anyway, since I ain't ridin' no wave of no BFPin' sort anytime soon.

  • Ooh ooh badge!

    I love elephants, too.  Have you ever seen one panic about almost stepping on a mouse?  They totally understand compassion.

  • Allison, have you read Water for Elephants? It's really good.
  • I think you already know my answer! Heck yeah!

    I didn't know that about them! I guess it makes another good reason why I love them! That's so fitting!

    Sorry about all the exclamation points, lol.

  • I think an elephant badge would be great and most appropriate.  I'm not that into humphrey.

  • Ooops, I will post codes then too. You can always right click and save to desktop, and then resize or what have you in tinypic.
  • Did you see that adorable baby elephant stuck in the mud on the Life series last week?  So sweet!

    I think I like the little boogie guy best; I'm putting him in my siggy!

  • I LOVE IT!!!!!!!  Please make a badge!!
  • So cute!  My sig needs to be perked up since I think I'm done with testing badges for a while.

  • Those are so, so cute. I'm not a 6+er, so I won't yoink one, but I think this is a great mascot, and a great sentiment, and those are really adorable badges.

    I hope the elephants usher in a "herd" of BFPs (haha, see what I did there?)

  • This is a WONDERFUL idea!  I feel that many of us can relate to elephants.  Should we name him? or her?

  • I love the elephant! I have been thinking of going with elephant nursery bedding when we do have a baby.

  • I love it!! p.s. have you ever listened to the Rachael Yamagata song "Elephants" It's crushingly beautiful (& sad). 
    oh please. not KU. effed up.
  • I am a big fan of your blog in general and I was especially moved by your January elephant piece, which I found when I was feeling particularly heartbroken as well.  The elephant is an ideal mascot and the booty shaking one is freakin' fantastic!
  • I love, love, love! the dancing elephant.  He's such a cute little blue bundle of awesomeness and has totally made my morning brighter.  Thank you!  :)
