This was our third Christmas we went over to St. Joe's Hospital to put up our ornament for Lilliana.
Everyone met together on the second Monday of December and after receiving a text at 7pm that night asking if I was attending, I realized we forgot all about this event. I was in tears. (not completely but could have cried my eyes out if I let myself.) I was fighting against the thought that we do two major things a year to remember our little girl and on this day, I was so busy with dinner, baths, homework(everything that involved my other children) and anything that made the bedtime routine on time, that I completely forgot about the tree ceremony.
Immediately, Rog and I agreed to make our way over the next evening to have our own decorating time.
We also enjoyed taking time to look at the ornaments on the tree and thinking of all the babies that have been lost along with the families that hurt every year like we do.
And after, we enjoyed spending time together taking pictures.
Our special time at Christmas where we can remember our daughter/sister while enjoying time together as a family.
A night that was special even after missing the original tree ceremony. Almost made it better that we were there with just the six of us.
