One way we did that was visiting with a couple of other loss moms that I made friends with online and enhancing those friendships by visiting face to face and talking about our children. Here are some photos of our visit with Tasha & Rasheedah. So great to meet them in person! It was also the one year anniversary of Rasheedah's son Joey's death. She brought some photo albums and we were able to see the joy he brought her in his short three years of life. It was a bit surreal meeting these ladies in person, after the months of support I have found from them online.
I also went to New York thinking I'd like to write Angel's name somehow if I could. I even brainstormed a bit with my friend Dana at lunch last week, about how I might do it - finding sand to write her name or even bringing a piece of paper with her name on it. As we were touring New York I kept thinking about it, and what happened was her name found me.
We saw this Blue Angels plane at the museum we chose to visit, called Intrepid.
The next day we went to the 9-11 memorial site, where they have built two remembrance pools where the twin towers once stood. Surrounding the pools where cement & metal type barriers with the engraved names of the thousands of people that were tragically killed that day.
As I walked along one of the pools, Angel's name popped up again.
I found it so appropriate that her name just appeared to me, like it was waiting there for me to walk by and see it. I didn't read every single name engraved or even walk around all four sides of the two pools, but there it was. I'm so glad it appeared to me that way.
