Random: One year

One year has come and gone. I so appreciated everyone's words of encouragement and remembrances. L and I didn't do much...we're still figuring out what tradition we want for each year. I lit some candles and we just had a nice evening together remembering her and loving her.

Still processing what happens now, if anything. No magical switch has been flipped and our grief is now erased and we're back to normal. Ha. It's still just a day at a time.

Below are the flowers we received from various family (beautiful) and the surprise Christmas tree and bear that my family added for the season to Lyra's grave!

  4. Thinking of you and Lyra.

    I was struck by how much the same everything felt after Matilda's first birthday. I think I was so focused on making it there that I thought it would change things somehow but it didn't.

  13. Everything looks beautiful! I've been thinking about what it will be like to be pregnant again and how I would feel if I had a son on the next go around. When I wonder if my heart can't love a boy like it does my girl (stupid grief makes me irrational) I pop on over here to read about both your children and the love that you have for both. Lyra is in my thoughts this Christmas.
