Remembrance Service


On Monday evening, we went to a Remembrance Service at our church for all the families who have lost loved ones in the past year. Both of our parents came, and three of my siblings. It was very well done. Each deceased loved one's name was read during the service, along with the chime of a bell. A cross with Luke's name that laid on his casket during his funeral service was also presented to us. It was quite emotional, but we were happy for the chance to attend something in Luke's honor. After the service, my mom presented us with cookies she made for us that were hearts, with a hole in them to represent the hole in all of our hearts now that Luke is gone. They were so beautiful! It means a lot to Will and I to know that Luke is missed by more than just his parents.

I was 15 weeks on Monday. Wee T got to vote for the first time yesterday, and will have to wait at least another 18 years before she can do that again! God Bless America!

I found you through your comment on HE WILL CARRY US. I just had to comment on your blog.

First off, I am so very sorry for the loss of Luke. Wonderful sturdy name. My firstborn child is also named Luke, so I guess I'm a little partial. :)

I too have lost a child. We lost our third born this past June. He too had VATER(although if you read my blog I don't really talk about that. Infact, I don't think that I even mention the word VATER on there.) Treyson's main problem was that he had no kidneys whatsoever, therefore not amniotic fluid, therefore his lungs did not develop.

Enough about that though.

Congratulations on Wee T. Adorable nickname!

Lastly, the remembrance service sounded beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
