I too have a son who was stillborn and doing things like scrapbooks are so theraputic for me. May I use the poem in the future for one of my pages? This is a very beautiful layout...thank you for your courage to share this.
very nice. I lost a daughter also who passed minutes after her birth, 17 years ago and my heart still breaks as it did when it happened. You do what you need to do to get through but you never forget and never stop grieving. Nice job on this layout!
This is so touching. It bring tears to my heart. I am so sorry for your loss. But you have a beautiful memory right in front of you. Stay strong and ou will again see her some day.
Wow...very poignant story! And the way you conveyed it in this beautiful page, photo and all just shows how much your little girl really meant to you...so powerful! Thanks for sharing this.
this is a wonderful way to keep the memories of your daughter and the basis of that tree with you. well done. and i like the papers you chose, they really accent the flowering tree well.
This is an amazing, touching LO. Thank you for sharing this and for allowing yourself to document these feelings. You will thank yourself later in life. This is just beautiful!
Holy cow! What a beautiful, touching tribute to your daughter! I love everything about this layout! I hope it comforts you to look at it. Thank you so much for sharing!
What a BEAUIFUL tribute to your daughter! Your journaling/poem is so sweet, and I imagine very painful for you! I think it's wonderful that you planted this tree and that you found the strength to put this amazing layout together! Beautiful, beautiful work, and into my faves!!!
This is one of the most touching journalings I've ever read. Thank you so much for being so brave and sharing your story. What a wonderful idea to plant a tree for her ... she would love it ...
bitter sweet! Beautiful lo, your colors that you choose are perfect. I am sorry for your loss. Your family and your Rebeka will be forever remembered in our hearts and prayers! Shana
Ok..now that I have quit crying...I can comment! Just beautiful and of course the journaling..words can't say. Its perfect and I am sure Rebeka would love it too. Great job.
Oh my goodness...that is one beautiful LO...gorgeous picture and I love how you cut it to represent your heart...om my I'm going to start crying again.....LOVE the LO, I know it must of been difficult but thanks for sharing!
*TEARS* I am so incredibly sorry for the horrible loss of Rebeka. ((((hugs)))) No one should have to lose a child... ever. What an incredible layout, memorial, and poem. This is just heartwarming.
This is a LO about a Weeping Cherry Tree we planted in 2002 in memory of our darling angel in heaven, Rebeka. She was stillborn in 2001, due to many health complications. We took it very hard and decided that this tree would help us remember all the wonderful things about my pregnancy with her. I cut the pic into strips because I wanted to represent the feeling of my heart being broken apart. *****Journaling: Weeping Willow. Weeping willow with your tears running down, why do you always weep and frown? Is it because he left you one day? Is it because he could not stay? On your branches he would swing, do you long for the happiness that day would bring? He found shelter in your shade. You thought his laughter would never fade. Weeping willow, stop your tears. There is something to calm your fears. You think that death has ripped you forever apart. But I know he'll always be in your heart. This poem is from My Girl. In it, Vada Sultenfuss's best friend Thomas died from an allergic reaction to bee stings. So even though this poem is about a little boy, and he was able to enjoy this tree for a time, I still feel connected to it. My tree is a Weeping Cherry. My story is about a little girl and she never even got a chance to see this tree that is dedicated to her. But I can feel the pain when I read the words of this poem and I can picture what might have been if she, my sweet precious little baby, had gotten a chance to enjoy this tree of hers. Beky, I just want you to know that you are thought of every single minute of every single day. This tree is a symbol of my heart breaking for you. I still wish you were here, but I know that is selfish. You are better off there. No hurt, no pain. I will never stop hurting, but when I look at your tree, I know I can smile. My love for you helped this tree grow, just as you help me every single day of my life. I love you always. Love, Mommy.
