Hi how are you? My name is sophia babygrl1221 I have one 4yr old son born in 04 but my first born was a baby girl in 2000 i still think about her so it has taken me 8 years of understanding and mourning. So finally the time has come for me to arrange her memorial ceremony. Iam planning it for end July early August 09. I can share a few ideas, Iam happy for you that your going to be having this time of closure for your baby in heaven. I wrote a short letter to my daughter that will go on her monument. Maybe that might be an idea. The memorial home always carries a book of poems and also google would be a great search. I would like to share with you with what i have planned. Placement of the monument on her grave along with flowers from the local flower shop me my friends n family will place at her gravesite the releasing of 2 doves followed by a short prayer the pastor will speak a few words about life, dying and eternal life. After we have planned an indoor catering private party. The monument is a closure its like a funeral to me thats what the flowers are for, and also to brighten up her grave knowing that she is not forgotten and she once lived in this world with us at one time, the doves represent life and her spirit flying up to heaven. The dinner is a time to end the night in happiness and joy with the ones we love.

My letter basically says my thots n emotions before she came into this world how happy i was to conceive her and then when she came into this world it wasnt ment for her to stay long but she deserved eternal life more than suffering, and then the ending my opinion of god speaking to me why she had to leave and what this experience has taught me and the wonderful life she will live in heaven. well I hope whatever u decide u will feel at peace. Also iam going to finally be giving a plack to the hospital that helped keep my baby alive but in the end god wanted her back. if you have any questions feel free to msg me.
