I saw the cutest little boy Christmas outfits and wanted to buy one...
I wanted to make a blue minky dot blanket to wrap him in...
Would he be scared of sitting on Santa's knee...
What would we tell Santa he wanted from him...
Instead of buying a Christmas outfit, we bought ornaments.
Instead of making him a blanket, I made him a stocking to hang and remember him by.
Instead of sitting on Santa's knee, he gets to sit on the knee of Jesus... He's not at all scared.
Instead of Christmas goodies under the tree, he has his own tree and all of his goodies are memorial items.
Sometimes it's just not enough...
I miss him...
The name of the song in the slide show is "Hug Him Once for Me". It was written and sung by the friend of a friend who also lost a son. The singers name is Erica McClure.
Merry Christmas to ALL!
Much love,
You're right...sometimes it just isn't enough. What is the name of the song you used in the slide show? It's beautiful. It made me cry, but it's beautiful. Hugs to you, my friend! ♥
