Gifts
Devin’s birthday is quickly approaching and his gifts have both arrived!
From me, the train I chose. I decided to go with the pewter just because of upkeep. But I am really really happy with how cute it is.
And from Kel, which just arrived today, the Loving Angel. <3 A year ago one of my mom’s friends got me the Angel of Healing, which has since had a place of honor on Devin’s shelf. I told Kel that I wanted to get another one for this year, but I didn’t know which one… so she picked one out for me, as her gift to me/us. It’s perfect. She said this past year has been full of grief, but also so full of love: for Devin, for my husband, for our future kids.
He/we probably won’t be getting any more gifts – not many people buy gifts for a dead baby, not even grandparents. But while most babies get a plethora of toys for their birthday, I am incredibly happy with the two perfect ones I have.
The angel and train look perfect together.
That is absolutely precious! {{Hugs}} to you!
Beautiful.
Such beautiful gifts.
Thinking of you as Devin’s birthday and your beta both approach.
Those are beautiful and it is wonderful that he is being remembered so beautifully.
I just now saw his train more closely with these pictures. That is so beauiful and cute! And the angel that matches your angel of healing looks great, too. They were both perfect ideas for gifts. I hope you don’t go completely insane the next few days as your Beta and his birthday are coming. You will have so many thoughts coming your way. *hugs*
absolutely lovely.
Big hugs Nat
They really are beautiful Natalie. (((HUGS))) I love those Willow Tree angels and the train, especially with Devin’s name engraved, is so sweet.
Those are beautiful gifts! I love those angles. We’ve bought them many times. Thank you for sharing.
those are all BEAUTIFUL gifts!
I really, really love these. Thank you for sharing them.
beautiful gifts… absolutely gorgeous. You’ve done really well with the pewter train, its so cool.
I hear you. No one buys us any gifts. I’m lucky if people remember Janaki’s birthday at all. Grr@ insensitive people (mostly family!)
Thinking of you and Devin as his birthday approaches. Missing Devin and Janaki and wishing things were different.
Lots of hugs,
I’ve been away for two weeks so i’m desperately trying to catch up with your story (and wow, you have been busy and so much has happened) but I just wanted to stop by to say these gifts are beautiful and that I’m thinking of you in the coming days.
Devin’s got beautiful gifts.
You are so correct. Even though there is no bounteous shower of gifts for him, the love with which these two have been given makes up for all of it.
Peace. Love.
