After watching the movie "Marley and Me", my kids got really sad about Charlie and Chelsie. We had to leave at 10:30 p.m. and drive to the cemetary to say "hi" to the girls before the kids could go to sleep. I've never seen them that upset. I got thinking that maybe they are still affected more than I think they are. So I decided to have them plant a memorial garden for the girls. It was fun to watch them dig the holes for the flowers and choose which one should go where. My wonderful husband built the wood frame around the garden, and then we made a day of planting. It was a lot of fun and I hope it will help the Wee One and Bo feel closer to the girls. Here are some pics:
What a wonderful thing to do! I'm sure the kids will think it's special and I hope it heals their hearts a little.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen that show. I'll have to watch it. I've heard it's good. I hope it helped your kids heal to plant the garden and to tell the girls good night.
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and I have to say thank you so much. I just lost my first son Jayden about 2 months ago and it's so comforting to know others know how I feel.
