So yesterday was a bad one, I woke up missing Logan so much! I struggled to get out of bed and I guess the stormy weather didn’t help much (cold + healing incision = OUCHY). I spent a lot of time just thinking of my little boy and surfing the net looking at blogs of other moms of angel babies (needed some proof that things get better)
It’s on these blogs where I found all these creative memory walls for babies who left way to soon.
Moms used the names of their babies on collages, drawings and photographs and since I find myself feeling frustrated with having so little memories and pictures of Logan 🙁 I thought that would be a good idea, incorporating my love of photography with my angel’s name.
So here’s what I came up with
– the white letters are all from me
– the heart chalkboard (a christmas gift) is a constant fixture in our joint “home office”
– the angel and foam card was made by my younger cousin and given to us at funeral
– the others are from websites that honour angel babies:

These are all so beautiful. I especially liked the white stones. It still takes my breath away to see my son's name. But having these small reminders, even when they are all we have, I dunno…it gives me something.
That is such a beautiful idea. I love that friend. You are SO RIGHT! It hurts so much more to not have any reminders or evidence of our sweet angels in our home or lives. Our little boys are so alive in our hearts, so to acknowledge them is so healing and important. I love your wall friend. Wearing Zac's name on my pendant around my neck brings me such an inner heart peace. It's not something we can always explain, but just the fact that it's out there and being acknowledged means so much. Sending you a whole lot of love.
