baby bird.

When we had the miscarriage, Kevin asked me how I wanted to honor or remember our baby. Some parents name a future child after the lost one or the experience, while others have ceremonies or plant a special flower. Some don’t feel the need to “do” anything to have closure, but can simply work through their loss with the Lord. I wasn’t sure what would be meaningful or appropriate for me, but I did want to continue brainstorming because I knew that doing something to remember the baby would probably bring me some sweet closure.

Today Kevin bought me a tiny little baby bird necklace to remember our baby. I had always told him that I was expectantly looking forward to being a “Mama Bird” someday and having little baby birds to love and take care of. The Lord in His loving care has thought it best to have this little baby bird leave the nest and fly away for a time, but he or she will be reunited with Mama Bird again someday. This necklace is such a sweet reminder.
