This week was difficult. We passed the point that would have been halfway through pregnancy. Daddy and I hung a wind chime given to us by Mommy's coworker. We also put you in your final resting place that day. We originally thought about spreading your ashes somewhere beautiful. I thought maybe I’d find a public garden with violets. But once we had you home with us, we both agreed we could not imagine parting from you ever again. Instead we chose a tiny urn that sits in a heart-shaped box that is engraved with your name and birthday. Next to you is the book I read to you that night in the hospital. The title, Sleep Baby Safe and Snug, was not intended for this situation, but it is perfect.
