I can't decide

I can't decide if I want the grass on Ariella's grave to grow back. On one hand, it will look nicer than the dirt. On the other hand, it means she's been gone for too long.

I can't decide whether I'm glad we've ordered the plaque for her. It's just one more thing that is so...final. We had the appointment at Centennial Park today. Currently we have a name marker for her that I printed at home and laminated. It felt wrong to not have anything there, but having the granite plaque on its way just reminds me of how permanent this situation is. At least a laminated peace of yellow card looks slightly cheerful; a granite plaque will look so formal...

We have fearfully and wonderfully made engraved on Evie's memorial marker! It's a comfort to know these little girls were made just how God wanted them to be <3

Also, I wrote a post similar to this about a month ago. Here is the link, in case you're interested:

Thanks for the link Sarah :) You chose a lovely memorial maker for your sweet Evie.

Thanks for the photo, Larissa. Not having been able to see Ariella, or attend a funeral, this helps respectfully mark her death for me.
