Flowers for his urn

in Late Term and Child Loss

My dad brought flowers over today for Nathaniel's urn. (His urn is a vase). Seems like no big deal but it really is- he has never done that before. In fact, no one has in the 9+ months since we lost him. It really meant a lot to me!

For a long time I felt like I was the only one putting flowers in the urn. I had to have flowers there- had to. And when they started to wilt I'd feel so sad. But it has given me somethin to do for him, to bring him flowers is all I can do. It was a struggle to keep flowers in it during the winter months, I was buying them every few days and felt like no one else was noticing. It felt really good for someone else to acknowledge him.

    Yes, it does seem like a big deal.  That is so sweet and I know how much those little things matter to us.

    What a beautiful gesture from your dad! I always love to hear when my MIL stops by to visit Annabelle at the columbarium. It is nice to know that someone else is thinking about her.
