Well I have been dreading this time of year ever since we lost Jack. But somehow we managed to make it through.
This time last year was filled with excitement and happiness. We had just announced to everyone that we were expecting, so of course it was our best Christmas ever. And this year was our worst Christmas ever. Two such extremes in such a short time.We were expecting little Jack to be crawling around the Christmas tree, pulling pressies apart and having a wonderful time this christmas, but instead he is in heaven, where hopefully he was spoiled rotten!
I got some wonderful presents in memory of Jack. One is a statue of a lady holding a baby and it is called "Angel of Mine", my husband gave me this and I couldnt have asked for a more beautiful present.
I also got a bracelet from my husband's family that has Jack's name on it, it is absolutely gorgeous.
I am looking forward to the New Year with hope. Hopefully it will be a better year for us both. Hopefully we will have a little brother or sister on the way for Jack.
But it also brings closer the 1st anniversary of Jacks birth/death. I cant beleive it is only 5 months away, it feels just like yesterday that we had to say goodbye.
Merry Christmas to you little Jack
Love Mummy and Daddy x0x0
The angel is beautiful and I love the bracelet. I am so sorry for your loss. Wishing you a peaceful 2010. xo
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteWe lost our little girl Matilda at the start of November and I haven't really put myself in any social situations for the reasons you describe. I can feel my friends censoring themselves around me and while I want them too because I can't handle hearing a lot of things, it changes our relationships.
Hope 2010 brings you good things.

Here via Birni's blog and so sorry for the loss of your beautiful boy, Jack. Our fifth child, George, was full-term stillborn on May 19th and so my heart goes out to you as another babyloss mother. Thinking of you. The gifts you were given in memory of Jack are just beautiful. (((Hugs)))
ReplyDeleteFirst, I am very sorry for your loss it is totally heartbreaking
ReplyDeleteSecond, I am glad to have found your blog and look forward to hearing what you have to say over coming months. I hope you find much support from online community as I have done.
I love some of the things you have to remember Jack. These things take on such a special meaning when they are all you have and are part of the healing process. I did a similar post of Christmas Day showing some of the things my wife and I have done in memory of Abigail.
