October 30th has been a day that was on our mind for the last nine months. Today was supposed to be our due date. Sara Kay should have been newly arrived or coming soon. Instead it has been almost 8 weeks since she entered Heaven.
We've tried to do what we can to preserve her memory. We framed her footprints, we made memory boxes and shadow boxes. We say goodnight to her every night, and we've made plans to teach our future children to say goodnight to their own personal guardian angel, Sara Kay.
A butterfly followed us out of the cemetery the first time we went back to visit her. It's a memory we hold dear, and we've seen plenty more, especially when it's been a tough day. I think there were daisies in every arrangement of flowers we got, so we try to keep a fresh arrangement at home as much as possible. Sara Kay's headstone was installed this week, and while we are stuck almost 4 hours away, our parents made it by as soon as they could to make sure she had fresh daisies.
It's so hard, and we thank all of your for your prayers throughout all of this, we would certainly be in worse shape now if it wasn't for all of the support of our friends and familiy. Please continue to keep us in your prayers, today is going to be extremely difficult, and there's still a long road of healing ahead.
Thank you.
