A pink stocking
Tonight Daniel and I went out to pick up some things we needed for the house. The store we were in had some Christmas decorations out so I went to check them out. I saw a pink stocking that said "Baby's First Christmas" on it. I felt so sad seeing it. Neither of my girls will get to have a stocking. I told Daniel that I would still like to buy a stocking for the girls and he said "Why? They're not here." It made me even sadder. He's ok with me getting an ornament for them but that's all. I've been going back and forth on even decorating this year. His comment made me lean even more towards skipping the holiday.

It's so difficult when we all grieve so differently. I read on someone else's blog that they write a letter to their baby and place it in a stocking every Christmas. Maybe you could start that tradition. I'm not looking forward to the holidays, either. Hang in there. At least, we'll have each other to lean on.
