My new found mommy treasure


"Tenderness"

When J and I first got married he bought me the one where the guy was standing behind the girl and she was holding his face (can't remember the name of it and it got broken recently).

Then when I was expecting Olivia Grace I wanted so badly the one where "she" is holding her pregnant belly. I never got it but I did get the one for J for father's day with the daddy holding his new baby on his lap. When Olivia was born and then passed away I put it in her coffin at her viewing to be buried with her.

For Christmas after we were blessed with Bear, J's brother (Scott) bought me the one with the dad holding the baby in his lap and the mother looking over the shoulder. That one still stands on our bookshelves displaying significance.

The other day on an outing with my inlaw sisters and mother I spotted this treasure. It was mixed up with a different saying (which personally I liked better) but this one will suffice. And the resemblance was too stinkin cute I had to get it to display this mommy's love and affection for her little curly headed boy.

I treasure the Willow Trees as well. Several of us in lg that lost babies shared teh one of the child holding the balloon that says "hope". I can't count the times I looked at that one with tears in my eyes
