A Song for Daniel, Stillborn by Jean Felice Eilbert (his mother)
When I held you in my arms that day Born so still, born anyway How was I to know to say goodbye? No one knew just what to do Except tell me I'd get over you As if forgetting makes it all untrue -- a lie
But I remember to remember I can't forget just to forget Your memories are a part of me Connecting me to what comes next.
And even after all this while I think of you, sometimes I smile Memories of my unknown child, fade slow. I've held you in my heart each day Life so short, life anyway Memories are meant to say hello.

WW: Family is Forever
About a year ago, I saw this vinyl and just had to get it. Today, with the help of a friend, I finally put up this photo arrangement. And now I can cross off number 11 on this list, at least for this wall.
That's a great decal. I suspect it's probably by a Mormon creator. Those decals are HUGE among Mormon women. Eternal families is a huge belief in the LDS church.
We ordered vinyl from an Etsy shop, Ter and I together a year ago. I got mine up, and I finally made her put her's up when I was there yesterday. I think secretly she doesn't like it when I go to her house cause I make her do crazy things like hang photos spur of the moment and hang shelves and such...
We're both in Canada, you can buy tons of Etsy stuff in canada, just sometimes you have to pay outrageous shipping costs.
Making my way through life with an angel on my shoulder and another one by my side. Follow me (and my dog) as I stumble through my new normal after the deaths of my daughter and husband.
