The grief counselor suggested keeping a list of things I'm grateful for. This is my list:
10/3 The Swarovski crystal Olivia Collection Charm
10/5 The violet adorned keepsake box at the hospital
10/5 "Sleep Baby Safe and Snug" was the book Dr. L found at the hospital
10/30 The frame I chose for your pictures ended up being only 1/4 inch shorter than you. I like being able to look at it and know how big you were.
10/30 Daddy’s co-worker who has had a similar loss suggested we get together on
November 6, my first day back to work, without knowing the significance of the day for me--great support that day!
11/23 The balloons came with three stars as anchors--one for each of my girls to keep.
12/2 I had the courage to approach another mom at my support group who has a very similar story to mine. It's unbelievable how much we have in common and can relate!
12/12 My Heart to Hold pillow arrived today. It is two shades of purple without them knowing about the violet being your symbol.
12/21 I learned today from my grief counselor that her research about your symbol, the violet, makes her think that it was no accident that we chose that flower. So much meaning!
2/15 after nearly two months of no flowers, The violet is budding
