It is beautiful. I remember when I got my daughter's headstone, it was so bitter sweet.

Re: Grave Marker
Thanks claricemaala... it definitely does bring forth a whole other level of closure. I wasn't really expecting that.
PS: it seems our rainbow babies are due in the same month! How are you tolerating your first trimester?

Re: Grave Marker
Thank you for sharing. The marker is beautiful.
I remember feelingthe same way when my mom told me that my son's marker arrived. It was closure but also a painful closure indicating a "final goodbye".
It also made me proud to show my son's name to the world. I just wished I would introduce him to the worls in a different world. Stay strong.

Thank you ladies for letting me share with you. I really appreciate all the kind words. I wish I had more than just a box of memories and a handful of pictures to share.

Re: Grave Marker
The marker is beautiful. Part of the devastation of loss of a child is the not being able to share the joy of him with others. But I do see Mason and think of him every time you post because his picture is there. It's not much, but it's something!

Grave Marker
I went back home to visit my family this past week. While I was there, I learned that my son's grave marker had finally arrived and been placed at the cemetery. It was very sad and emotional for me, but I kind of feel relieved that his name is out in the world and people will now see his grave and know that he was loved and dearly wanted.
I wanted to share his marker with you wonderful ladies and I hope that none of you will take offense. I just so desperately want to share Mason, but it's hard to find anyone that will understand and truly respect this situation.

Please let me know if this image upsets anyone and I will take it down.
