Visiting the boys

Dec 20th was the anniversay of us losing our boys/their birth/them going to Heaven...whatever you wish to call it. It being 5 days before Christmas we of course had a lot to do. We did some shopping, I got a haircut while Glenne and Hailey went to Gymboree and Cheese!! We went to lunch then did some shopping. It really is great being able to shop with her for her presents. I know next year we will not be able to do that. Sorry I am going off track.

We got some trucks to put at the grave for the boys and cleaned it off with the little broom. Hailey liked that and wanted to do it to their grave and all the other ones around them. She also played with the trucks we left for them..crashing them into each other.

We do not go to the cemetary much..but when we go we usually have Hailey with us. I think it has been almost a year since I have been. She just runs around there (they are in a section called the Garden of Innocence where its all children) and plays. She does not seem to notice that it is a place of saddness for most of us adults. That is the wonderful thing about children.

This is a picture of the statue that is in the Garden of Innocence. As we were getting ready to leave she saw the statue and just went over and hugged it for a while. We actually had to walk away toward the car before she would walk away. It was just a very touching visit!



I know I do not normally talk about the boys much, but they are always in our thoughts. Thanks for reading.....
