You grew below my heart—now I wear your memory above it

It arrived tonight. It’s his name and what would have been his due date: March 20th, 2014. The little blue charm is the March birthstone.

You grew below my heart; now I wear your memory above it

“Forever and ever baby.”

I love it. I wish that I would have put his due date as 3-20-14 so that “Adam” wasn’t almost upside down. Sigh. We’ll blame it on the grief-stricken emotional wreck I was two weeks ago.

Still.  It’s a beautiful necklace.  I bought the supplies for my shadow box.  Picture to come.  The shadow box will hold my precious items that have to do with Adam.  But this necklace can come with me.  If I can’t hold him in my arms, at least I can have him wrapped around my neck.

    What a beautiful, beautiful tribute to Adam. Thinking of you and your husband in this time …wish there was something to adequately express it better, but thinking of all of you.

    the name Adam will be right side up when you look at it. It's fitting that his birthday would have been near the first day of spring. Thinking of you at this time

    If it's long enough, it will be right-side-up when you look down. Like he's looking up at you 🙂 Sending love and comfort.

    Adam's necklace is beautiful. May wearing it bring the same peace to your heart that my necklaces did for me. Thinking of you.
