I have them framed. One I had made into blank notecards. I just finished reading The Velveteen Rabbit to Hunter - I love that quote! I will have to think of incorporating it into something. <br />Yes - when we talk about it that may help others. I've also noticed that maybe it is a generational thing to not acknowledge it too.<br />That is SO exciting you found out about the heartbeat. Very encouraging. <br />I hope you are feeling better now - thanks for your comment!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306217651417023803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1000326625965122367.post-80921532065382052132015-05-17T20:26:44.428-04:002015-05-17T20:26:44.428-04:00Oh Megan - I LOVE your idea of birthday bears.

(She has some on her website that she'll personalize with a name or a heart, and I bought one of those.) I'm going to frame it with either this quote from her website: " "Sometimes miracles arrive so tiny that we cannot feel the weight of them, and yet we are still changed and we are blessed none the less."~ Anonymous or a quote from the Velveteen Rabbit, "once you become real, you can't become unreal. It lasts for always." I think as we talk about and memorialize the babies we didn't get to feel move or bring home from the hospital, maybe it will become easier for others to open up.<br /><br />I also found out that the baby I told you about on your mother's day post has a heartbeat (the upside of fainting and spending 12 hours in the ER yesterday!) I'm only six weeks so there are still many things that can go wrong, but after the last one never developed at all it's still comforting to know that's not happening with this one.MelanieBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05137796165695937464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1000326625965122367.post-82449596076560708512015-05-16T23:02:41.244-04:002015-05-16T23:02:41.244-04:00That's lovely, Lisa.

It seems for so many things, we have to experience it personally to really understand.<br />But it IS hard. Because grief is so personal, it can be hard to know how to reach out to others. For me, I've learned to simply say "I'm sorry." Then try and figure out from their response how/if to go further. <br />So I guess I'm not really a big help after all. :(Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306217651417023803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1000326625965122367.post-45437925160813026392015-05-14T20:43:39.268-04:002015-05-14T20:43:39.268-04:00Our talk that day outside Mom Jenny's really h...Our talk that day outside Mom Jenny's really helped me.

I too, have babies in heaven....three of them, and I miss them all and often wonder who they would have become. It is a blessing to know each of them is whole and perfect, safe in the arms of the only perfect parent. Like you, I look forward to meeting them some day. ❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼<br />Sent from my iPhone<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10674817788521357073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1000326625965122367.post-61764029605111512132015-05-14T09:51:53.389-04:002015-05-14T09:51:53.389-04:00No excuses, just facts.

Things we do see are difficult to remember and things we don't see, well, pretty near impossible to remember. <br /><br />I love you and I see our flaws in this. I wish we knew HOW to be better. And you posting about it does help us to think, remember, and hopefully be more feeling and try harder to understand walking in your shoes.<br /><br />Hugs.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15253440747389521864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1000326625965122367.post-20702923121777136112015-05-14T08:37:26.756-04:002015-05-14T08:37:26.756-04:00Oh..and I love you!Oh..and I love you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08779867015402692357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1000326625965122367.post-529047715206966832015-05-14T08:37:03.180-04:002015-05-14T08:37:03.180-04:00I love the necklace idea.
