Making it Through Another Anniversary...

It was four years ago that we conceived our sweetie Anne. We conceived her Labor Day weekend, 2004. We buried her Independence Day weekend, 2005--not enough time with her AT ALL!!!

Today was especially riddled with grieving. I've been sick, so that hasn't helped. Sometimes I just miss them like crazy. Other times it's as if it's all a dream.

I cried a lot today. I cried a lot yesterday too. I've cried a lot this entire summer.

I bought some beautiful photographs off Etsy--cemetery statuary. I will upload and post later--such beautiful expressions of grief. No one invests in cemetery statuaries anymore.

About Me

Name: 2QTsInHeaven

Location: High Desert SW

I'm Vickie, 51, married since 1985. We have a grown son, born in 1986, and aside from two early miscarriages, were barren thereafter. That is until 2003, when we were miraculously expecting a baby girl. The pregnancy was wonderful & we were very excited to be so blessed. Sadly & preventably, Abigail died in utero the week of her due date thanks to a practice of outlandishly horrid medical providers masquerading as knowledgeable professionals. Consequently, I delivered her lifeless body on December 6, 2003 after 3 days of sorrowed labor. She may have been born still, but she was still born & is still loved. Long story short, we were blessed 16 months later with a 3rd miracle child. Anne came into the world on April 28, 2005 after yet another wonderful pregnancy. Sadly, it was discovered after her birth that she had a heart defect caused by trisomy 18. She died suddenly of congestive heart failure, just before midnight on June 28, 2005. Anne was 61derful days old when she left her mama's arms & went to rest in the Lord's. She was a wonderful sparkly child, who along with her siblings, are the subject of most of my writings, interests & hobbies.
