Say A Pray For Abigail...Her EDD would have been MAY 10th
Saturday will mark our dear Abigail's EDD. I have set up a memorial garden with a terra cotta angel looking downward, I surrounded her by miniature roses...three to represent all three babies, Abigails being the largest of the two since we knew her longest (9 weeks). (Also we knew her sex from the genetic testing.) I also have a small slate stone placed beside the angel with a quote I am quite fond of. It says: "No Farewell Words Were Spoken, No Time To Say Goodbye, You were Gone Before We Knew It And Only God Knows Why"
I am asking for prayers as we do a small memorial in honor of Abigail, celebrating her life in Heaven. I have cried all day and I doubt tomorrow will be any different. They are mixed tears of sorrow for what could have been and joy knowing that at least I will hold her, as well as our other two when I meet up with them in Heaven. Please help me get through this......
I posted you a note in GTKY too, but I wanted to leave you one here too.
I hope you feel our prayers coming through to you during the service and know that there are many of us who mourn with you. You are doing a beautiful thing for your children--what a remarkable woman you are.
((((((HUGS))))))

Lisa said it so well....you ARE a remarkable woman!
I, too, posted in the GTKY forum and lots of other cysters are posting there, too!
We love you and support you in your time of grief. Kathryn
P.S. Your memory garden sounds beautiful. After my mother died, I planted begonias in the shape of a heart. It was very helpful in dealing with my grief, especially since she loved gardening.
I will be thinking of you. And praying. I never underestimate the power of prayer.
I am only a city and a IM on yahoo away. Take care and be strong.

Can I just thank you all personally for coming by, lending your support and your prayers and just being a complete and utter comfort to me during this time of great sorrow?
The memorial went well, very low key and brief the way I wanted it to be. Very intimate too. I have cried so much in the last three days I am shocked to discover I have any tears left. But I do.
As I move past this to make one more decision--trying a FET cycle--I will continue to need such wonderful support and such dear cysters like you to help me get through the rough spots.
I don't know what a basket-case I'd be without this kind of support group.
God Bless...I know Abigail is looked after in Heaven by her other two siblings and we will all meet one day and be the family we should be here on Earth....
What a beautiful post - I have been looking in this forum for ways to celebrate our angels and I found the description of your garden.
I am crying, you have moved me so much.
Thank you for sharing your celebration with us. I hope it has brought you comfort and closure and that your FET (if you decide to do it) will be successful.
I have been quietly following your story for quiet a while. Just want to let you know we are always here for you.
Love,
Carla

Jennifer and Carla, thank you so much for your support & prayers they mean so much to me.
I forgot to add that I did feel the prayers on Saturday at noon. and although I was crying, they were tears of acceptance and the love that surrounds me.
I am truly blessed with great family, great friends, and the greatest cysters ever! People think I am so brave, so amazing to go through what I have and still have the fortitude to go on. Well I guess that just proves I'm a survivor and I know there are a lot of you cysters out there just as brave and amazing--if not more--than me! (((Group hug)))!!!!!!
