The prompt for today is “Memorial.” This is anything we have done in memory of our child.

Darrell and I have different ideas about things, so we haven’t done much of a memorial.

I have worked a little bit on a scrapbook for Pixel so I can look back and remember the happy times as well as the birth. I am nowhere near done, but I can only emotionally handle doing a couple pages at a time. We have put all of the cards we got from our baby shower and all of the condolence cards we got in the scrapbook. It currently sits right next to the TV underneath where we keep Pixel’s ashes.

 

We were just starting to get things organized and put together for him when we found out we lost him, so we didn’t have much for him that was “his.” Somedays it is hard for me not having things, but I know that it is harder for Darrell having things around the house. It is a compromise that we have reached and are ok with. Maybe someday it will be different, but this is what we need at this moment in time.
