Day 5. Memorial - This one is easy for me. Since we didn't bury Adelyn, I feel like I don't have a place to "go to" to be with her, a place to decorate for the seasons. I knew we wanted to cremate her without thinking twice, I couldn't bear the thought of leaving her alone in a cemetary. What I didn't realize was that there is a baby section in cemetaries. To be so naive again......
I do wish sometimes that I had buried her so I could go there and "mother her" by making her grave look nice. I have to find some way to mother her from earth.
Pink flowers have always reminded me of Adelyn, so I decided to plant some flowers for her. It became Adelyn's Garden and I LOVE it.
