Wow...it's been 5 1/2 months...sometimes it seems like forever ago since we saw her sweet little face. We visited the cemetary today to wish her a Merry Christmas....it has been hard lately...I find myself looking at babies and wondering what she would look like now...what sweet little sounds she would be making...what fun things we would be buying for her for Christmas.
This morning in the car I asked the kids what they thought Harper would have liked for Christmas...if she were here...Kendall quickly responded "a baby doll"...Landon thought for a minute and said "a pacifier!" I guess he remembers how loud Kendall was as a baby...he can always make me smile.
This afternoon we took the scienic route to the cemetary...I think Dave and I were both anxious about getting there...we were both kind of unsure how we would react in front of the kids. When I got out of the car I felt a breeze go over me...a kind of peaceful breeze...I felt some sense of peace. The kids were happy to see the new walk way that had been built in the baby garden and they love to see the geese in the pond....we wish we could give her a great big hug...but we hang on to the promise that we will see her again.
