Remembering Angel - baby book & bear

One of the things that is very important to me, is to keep Angel's memory alive, here & now, and going forward.  I am constantly looking for tangible things that can help me remember her - like the framed prints we have for her, candles or other momentos, my tattoo, my butterfly necklace, the garden I want to create for her in our backyrad.

This week I got a couple of items that will continue to help me keep her memory alive.

First off - Dana knitted me this sweet little sweater for my teddy bear.  It is actually a pooh bear - I had been thinking of doing a winnie the pooh type theme for Angel's room.  Dana has a teddy bear for Jacob with a "J" sweater and I told her I admired it and she offered to create one for me, for Angel.  I was so touched, and I love it.  I know Dana also uses her bear in family photos, to remember Jacob and I think that is a great idea to incorporate his memory going forward.   Thank you Dana! 


Also, I ordered this baby book specifically for Angel babies this week.  I am looking forward to filling it out and making sure I have all my memories of Angel documented, so I can always look back on them.

    I'm so glad you like the sweater!

    I have the same baby book for Jacob, although I've had it for almost a year and only filled out 4 pages. I get nervous about doing it because I want it to be so perfect.

    I ran across your blog through pinterest. I read it from the end to the beginning and cried, but enjoyed it. My baby Owen was stillborn on Sept 13 this year. He had the same due date as Angel, just a year later. I was wondering where you found your baby book at? I would like to find one for Owen. Thank you for your blog! Angela
