Visit

Last year on this date Jeff and I were at the funeral home for our visitation with Angel. The last day I saw her physical body. It kind of felt like an out of body experience. So surreal.
We had picked her one and only outfit to wear...the hat she wore said little butterfly on it. We sent with her letters from Jeff and I, which we read to her, letters from her grandmas, photos of Jeff and I and her grandparents, a small teddy bear I got at the hospital, a few flower buds from the bouquets we got from her aunts and uncles, and the hungry caterpillar book which I read to her also.

Although it is hard to look back on that day, and the days following her birth, I am glad I remember so many details, as these are the only memories we have with her physically here. How I wish I had more time.
