The day we buried my baby girl was one of the hardest days of my life, looking back I think I was in shock at the fact we were going through this. Having a service for her, a small graveside service, and a luncheon afterwards as well. The church we attend was very wonderful and helped us through all of this. January 5, 2011 - an amazing beautiful day, there was no snow and a very mild day for January. I remember standing there greeting people, having them sign in - I have a memorial booklet for my daughter. Everyone saying how sorry they were, all the hugs. We played "Heaven is the face" by Steven Curtis Chapman. the music started and everyone had been seated. I asked for my sons to sit by me, and my husband, my boys and I sat in the front row. Listened while the pastor talked about how much Jesus loves the little children. How amazing things had worked out and my baby girl brought into this world naturally (rather than having a D&C preformed-which i didnt want done) how God had given us a chance to hold our baby if only for a few moments on Earth. I appreciated the sermon and all the friends and family that came out to support us. Definitely in shock that day. As the days grow on I realize I have to live the rest of my life without my baby girl.
