I love having little reminders in our home of Jackson and the way that he has touched our lives. On Jackson's birthday, our friends Rebeca & Dave sent us this beautiful plaque that says, "Because someone we love is in heaven, we feel heaven in our home." Brandon & Christa gave us this Willow Tree statue. It really reminds me of Jackson, because he was wearing a little beanie & was wrapped in a blanket when Lincoln blessed him. I love seeing these things every day and knowing that this little boy is a part of our family forever.

I love that plaque, by any chance do you know where they got it? I would love to give one to my friend who just lost her mother.

I absolutely agree. I find myself STILL buying two of everything. I have pictures up of our twins in the hall way and in the nursery and I love looking at them everyday! It just keeps your FAITH alive.

What comfort it has brought me. I am sorry you are dealing with so many different trials with your health. What a great example you are though! Good luck with everything!

I am so sorry for your loss! I can't think of a better way to honor the memory of your beautiful little boy than to put your feelings and experience out there to bless the lives of others!
My daughter, Savannah, was stillborn on February 9 of this year at 35 weeks so I understand some of the conflicting emotions you have gone through. Happy for our babies that they get to serve their missions in a place where they will never feel pain, frustration or grief. Honored that the Lord would let us be part of the eternal progression of such a perfect little soul by helping create their bodies. Devastated that they can't stay here with us. I haven't cried in a long time, but I sobbed when I saw the picture of you and little Jackson right before the funeral home took him. That was such a raw moment for me! I felt the spirit so strong throught the entire labor process but reality kicked in when a stranger came to take my baby, and he wan't going to give her back! This kind man looked at me as my husband handed our little girl over to him and said, "I promise we'll take good care of her." at that moment the spirit whispered to me, "so will I". It was a comforting reminder to me that I wasn't actually handing my little lovey girl over to a stranger. He was only taking her little tabernacle. Our babies are "alive" and well with our Savior and watching over us.
I'm very grateful for a loving Heavenly Father that is truly our FATHER and can "take care" of our little angels better than we ever could, until we are reunited again!
Your little family will be in my prayers. If you ever need someone to talk to or vent to that understands a little taste of what you've been through feel free to email me: zeeneye@gmail.com
