It's Official...


Well...its here.   There is something so final in seeing your child's name carved in granite.  She's gone....really, really, really gone.  She's never coming back...2 Sam. 12:23b "I will go to h(er) one day, but (s)he cannot return to me."


After getting quite the run-around from the monument place they did get it set the day before the deadline, however they "forgot" to put her picture on.  It's okay, we only paid an extra $300 to have her picture on the stone (I am being sarcastic)!  They should have it on this spring though.  I'm just glad they set the stone instead of waiting until spring to do that too.  As hard as it is to see her name, it's also helpful at the same time...its just another thing that makes her "real."  She has a name, she was a person, and she lives on forever in my heart.

  3. Very nice Jen, but when people mess up something like this its a big mess up. I can feel what your feeling and I am sorry or that. It took them a long time to get Tyler's out and then when it was out for everyone to see everything came real in the nighmare I was having day after day. I would go often to polish and clean it, decorate (dress)its a place to go. I could go on and on, but you get it, you feel the lump in my throat that never goes away. I wish I could make that all go away for everyone that has to go through this. LOVE YA JEN.
