I thought I would share a picture of Gavin’s urn. I absolutely love it. We chose the green marble because his birthstone is emerald. Right now his urn is on our kitchen counter. I am not really sure where to put him. I might have hubby install a shelf in our bedroom or TV room (the rooms we use the most) - Just not really sure. I should be picking out baby furniture not deciding the best place for an urn. This is all still so surreal.


The top says:  Until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
 

We managed to survive Father’s Day. I think it was harder on Hubby than he thought it was going to be. I was sad for him and for the fact that I feel like I failed him.

We shared Gavin’s photos with our families on Father’s Day. I think they appreciated seeing them. I need to talk about Gavin and what happened but I think people are scared to ask me any questions. So thanks to all of you for letting me talk and for listening.


~We are heading out of town up to the mountains for the weekend. It will be a nice break from real life (and the 111 degree heat). I am actually looking forward to it.

    It's lovely. You talk all you need. I can't tell if you are on Twitter, but I have 3-4 friends on there who went through or are currently going through similar losses. Don't know if you'd like to connect with them that way, but if so, just let me know & I'll give you their Twitter names.

    I hope this weekend brings a little more healing.

    The urn is beautiful as is your sweet boy Gavin. I am so sorry for your loss...I can't even imagine what you are going through. I was out of town when this happened to you and for some reason it wouldn't let me comment on your blog. I just wanted you to know that I have been reading and I am just so sorry. And you talk all you need because I am sure that helps. Thinking of you lots.

    The urn is beautiful and deserves a place of honor. I can't imagine choosing a place that would be good enough. I'd probably carry it with me for a while.

    I'm so glad you shared with your family. They may be awkward about the situation trying to avoid the topic, but I think by talking about it you've opened the door.

    Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

    What a beautiful urn. I just wish you didn't even have to pick one out. I'm so sorry.

    Still thinking of you. I hope that a weekend away helps, even if only a little. <3

    I am just catching up with blogs that I haven't read for awhile...I had no idea what you have been through. I've caught up with you, and I'm so sorry for your loss of little Gavin. It's devastating! I hate hearing about this...and even more that it happened to such good people. You are in my thoughts.
