We finally got the call from the funeral home that Sophie and Gabriel were ready to be picked up. Of course dh and I left right away to go get them. And although it was heartbreaking, I am not broken. I could carry their beautiful little urns by their picture, and place them lovingly on either side. We lit their candles, cried for a few minutes, and let them be. I can't say I feel peaceful, as much as relieved that they are with us now and not some strangers. They are home with their family. It hurts but I know they are in a better place. They will never have to feel the pain of loss or broken hearts. I hope that I can hope again.
On 10/23/13 Baby Sophie and Baby Gabriel born at 21+5 weeks. They grew wings and flew away from us. May God bless them always. We love you beans!
Phoebe Jaslene born at 19w3d. We love you beba!

***Siggy Warning***
So happy you're babies are home where they belong. You're in my thoughts and prayers today.
It took 9 DAYS for my son to be cremated and his ashes to be ready. That wait was agony. Picking him up from the funeral home was the one of the worst days of my life, right up there with losing him and leaving the hospital without my baby. The grief was just crushing.
Bringing him home that way was so surreal. It's not supposed to be like that. I still can't believe it really happened to us, to him.
Huge hugs.
