The summers during which we were trying to build our family (different summers, different ways), I spent so much time trying to grow things.<br /><br />Love the ideas that Sarah offered.Lori Lavender Luzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394441222262940632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5610810146856199913.post-74640804362856858592021-03-10T14:54:56.650-08:002021-03-10T14:54:56.650-08:00I've always been hesitant re: memorial gardens...I've always been hesitant re: memorial gardens for the same reasons... but something that you know you could dig up again if need be is a great solution. :) We did have a tree in the backyard at our house that we thought of as "Katie's tree" and that was kind of hard to leave. We took photos of each other beside it on moving day. loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5610810146856199913.post-73371333201258336862021-03-10T06:59:20.897-08:002021-03-10T06:59:20.897-08:00I love your boy budda, and that he's safely in...I love your boy budda, and that he's safely indoors with you. We still have the three little teddy bears given to us by the hospitals when we lost our girls. When I need to, I go over to the dresser where they sit and bury my face in them to give them a hug. As you mentioned, it gives me peace.<br /><br />I think your spring butterfly garden idea is lovely. It's possible I think that simply because at this point in a Minnesota winter, I think ANYTHING to do with spring or gardens is lovely! That said, finding what brings you joy and comfort and peace is not easy, and if you've got any idea for doing that, that's beautiful.

I couldn't quite bring myself to bury them, which was a good thing because the trees didn't survive! And now I wear the ear-rings regularly, and like the remembrance of doing so, without pain. So burying things is not for everyone. <br /><br />But the remembrance, yes, that's the key thing. We all do what works for us. And I love Sarah's garden and the idea of your butterfly gardens.Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928262526502319303noreply@blogger.com
