How do you spend the anniversary day?

cawettig · October 2013

Every month on the 10th we light a candle and order hot wings to remember Arianna. I never ate anything spicy or hot flavor before her, I could never stomach it. But when I was around 16-18 weeks with her that is all I wanted! I ate them all the time until I lost her. When she wasn't with us anymore on her first anniversary I ate them and was so sick, my little buffer was gone. Right now my rainbow is helping as a buffer but still I can't eat them like I could before! I love lighting her candle, dh and I light it together and blow it out together for her.

I was just thinking of what we will do when the 'anniversary' comes. I guess I'm getting ahead of myself. But I think that is a nice way for you guys to remember your precious darling. I love wings but neither of us can handle spice either, that's hilarious. Perhaps mild/medium?

The wings could never get hot enough! I personally like lighting the candle, you can order special candles online. Purple was going to be her colors since my oldest dd is pink everything. So I looked around until I found the one that made me think of her. We looked everywhere for a lantern too. There are a lot of angel wing memorials online. I love the angel wings too, I have been getting a lot of angel items for her. I even bought a ton of white flowers and a couple purple flowers for her this year. We planted a white flowering tree in the backyard for her too. I don't know if her candle posted on my first post so I will try again.

It's lovely! I ordered last week from Origami Owl a customized necklace. I am going to receive it next week after my birthday. It will have angel wings, their initials, 2 baby carriages, the birthstone, a heart that says 'in memory of' and a rose gold plate that says 'always'. I can't wait to get it so I can carry it around. Unfortunately it cost a bit but for them I don't mind.

***LO ticker***DS mentioned*** For Colton's due date we sent him a balloon with love notes and this is something I would like to do each year on his angelversary. I want DS1 to know about him and I feel like this a way that we can celebrate Colton's birth day that is fun and memorable for our whole family. Each month I've been lighting a candle, and would like to get either a special candle or holder, but I'm still looking around.

For Devon's first angelversary this past August, we had cupcakes and sang Happy Birthday to him, and I spent the morning at the park and talked to him/cried for an hour or so. I plan to have cupcakes for him every year and take the morning to reflect and spend just focusing on him. I don't do anything special on the date each month [19th], but I always remember it and think of him.

~~Siggy Warning~~

On the 27th of the month, I light their candles (For now, I was given candles from a fellow TTTS Loss Mom in a care package...) They're small candles, so I'm not sure they'll get us through the year, but I hope they do, then I'll get other special candles for them.

Even though we have almost 7 months, I've been thinking about their birthday. Thought about paper lanterns, but they scare me! Maybe balloon release?? Got a little bit of time to think about it...
