Go visit on facebook (www.facebook.com/jewelrybyjillybean) and on instagram @jillybeanjewelry check out the beautiful jewelry. I received a memorial necklace from this complete stranger and it is one of my favorites. I love the charms on it and I wear it all the time.
My picture is terrible, but it has Carson's name on
For Christmas this year I bought Joel and Carson matching ties. I thought it would be so adorable for them to show up at church with the same tie. I got them at Littlest Prince Couture (www.littleprince.com). I cannot write with words how horrible it was to buy that tie at Christmas and the day we gave it to him, he passed away. I still have a hard time thinking that I will never have a picture of my boys in that matching tie. But, we decided to bury him in it. It was awful to have to dress the body of your dead baby. The only comfort was knowing that Joel had a tie that matched the one he was wearing in his casket. It was like we were still connected. I love it when Joel wears that tie. It just makes me feel like a little piece of him is still here with us. I wrote the owner of Littlest Prince and told her how amazing it was that she made pieces of clothing that could connect families. She wrote a beautiful e-mail back. She also sent an extra tie (which I put in my shadow box) and gave Joel like 5 extra ties in case his got damaged or stained or something. I have this shadow box hanging in my room and get to see it every morning to remind me who I am living for and that he is watching. I always want him to be proud of his mommy. I was overwhelmed by this woman's kindness as she was a complete stranger. There really are good people out there. I am grateful for all of you who have reached out to me. I know you don't know what to say, and to be honest, I don't really know what to say either. But I am grateful for those of you who ask about Carson, about Carson's Lions and listen to me talk. I know I'm crazy, but I appreciate you helping me deal with the crazy. :-)
