This is what I said to JT this morning. We had planned on taking the baby to the beach and bury it their (by the way, I hate calling it "it"). Last night, I didn't think I could let go, I stayed up til about 2 am avoiding going to my room, because I knew I was going to have to see my child lying there on the counter. I wasn't ready to let go, I wanted to hold on to it for as long as I could.
As we were getting ready this morning, I realized I was ready. I needed closure. We all loaded up in the truck and headed to Tybee. I tried to explain to Ella what we were doing. She knew we had the baby, but she was confused because I told her the baby went to be with Jesus. She asked if Jesus gave it back since I had the body. We went around and around. Some day she will understand, but not now.
We had the body in a little wooden box and I put a piece of scripture in there. The box was secured with hot glue, then placed in a cloth sack.
It was cold and windy. JT searched out a place and dug a hole. We said a little prayer and involved the girls. We put flowers on the box and then JT and Ella covered it up.
It was small, sweet and sad. But it is at rest now and we will move on from here. Savannah, Ga will always have a special place in our hearts.
