October

Well little man, your month is finally here.  It seems like to mama it has crept up on us but I know you have been counting down the months.  At school I had to put up the October calendar for the kids.  Normally I do it while they are there but for this special month I needed to do it by myself.  It made me sad but through my tears I smiled because I know it is your extra special month.

These past few months, your family has been working on getting your headstone.  It has taken longer then I wanted but I wanted to make sure that it was perfect.  A perfect way to honor you.  I have to say that I am finally happy with the way it turned out.  My favorite part is your little footprints.  I know that when I come to visit you I will sit there and rub your little feet.  It will make me feel closer to you.

Anyways I wanted to share the drawing of your headstone with others and hopefully in the next few weeks, I will get to share a picture of the real thing.  Your headstone is a beautiful India black stone with silver lettering.


I can't wait to see it and I hope that you love it just as much as I love it.  The part with your lion is a flower vase and we are going to put new flowers and a solar light inside your vase.

I also wanted to share my wish for this next year, Ty-man.  I don't ever ever want to feel not a part of you.  I am worried that as the years pass I will not feel close to you.  I don't want that to happen.  I love talking to you and visiting you and feeling you visit me in my dreams.  I want that to continue until the day we meet again in Heaven.

October is a hard month for mama.  It's the last month that we had together on earth, it's the last month that I got to kiss and hold you, and it's the month that we had to say goodbye.  I also know there is a small chance that your brother might come in October.  I pray that he waits till the beginning of November but as I learned with you, I don't get to chose when he comes.  We are ready for him though whenever he chooses to come.

Papa and I are coming to visit you on your birthday on Wednesday.  We decided that we want to have a picnic with you.  I hope the weather is nice.  Then this spring we will celebrate your half birthday with more family members.  It's just hard for us baby boy because papa works on the weekend and mama is nearing the end of her pregnancy with your little brother.  I know that a small intimate 1st Birthday party will be wonderful.  I hope you enjoy it.  I know that I can't even imagine how wonderful your birthday will be in Heaven.

I love you baby boy and can't wait to visit you.  Thanks for letting me share your headstone.
