Hi girls.
I haven't been on here in aaaaaaaaaaaaages and thought I'd stop by today.
We're 2 days away from Chloe's 5th angelversary and I'm both dreading it and looking forward to it.
I'm volunteering at the Sands Wanganui office and was told I'm not expected to work on that day, which is nice, it's hard to answer the phone if you're bawling your eyes out.

I had to copy a poem written for the mums of SB babies last week for the newsletter and it took me forever because it made me cry so much I couldn't see.

I just wanna send everyone a big giant HUG today.

Will be thinking of you and your precious Chloe over the coming days Be gentle with yourself, it is a very bittersweet milestone

Hi DFL, long time no see. Hugs right back Thinking of you this week, its a tough one for sure, we just had our 5th anniversary as well. Hope you do something special to mark the occasion

I need to find some time to make a cake, no clear idea what yet.

Eloise is starting at the Grief and Loss Workshop for Kids on Wednesday afternoon and me and her have decided we're going out for tea, like we did last year.

Aidan asked about her for the first time about 2 months ago. He found the plaque I have on the mantelpiece (Glover Memorials in Lower Hutt does them for free for angel mums) and he asked me about it. Then after I'd explained, he grabbed the little urn and asked "chloe in the box? this box? I need get he out."

And T.A. too

We got our plaque from them for the 5th anniversary (bubs was previously unnamed, but we decided this was a good time to do it, as one day we will tell the girls about him as well). So we did a planting on the anniversary and placed the plaque underneath, and we also did another plant nearby and buried Olivia's placenta. (2 years ago on the anniversary, we buried Kellie's and Jess' placentas).

Oh that's lovely!!

sending a right back at you DFL

Paper!!
too!

DX just picked Eloise up. He said he has a AP/DP thing til 5.30pm this afternoon and asked if he had Aidan tonight (he's confused re the days)
I said, 'oh, me and Eloise thought we'd all go out for dinner tonight.'
He looked and thought that meant he didn't have Aidan tonight so i explained I meant ALL of us, it's 5 years since Chloe this year, and I thought it was important.
He suggested that instead of splashing out we have a yummy meal at his house or mine.

I kinda feel like I railroaded him into celebrating with us but tough. He'll survive and I think it's important for Eloise.

Hugs for today

DFL thinking of you today

DFL thinking of you and your family today

You know I hardly ever head in here but for some reason tonight thought I would.............& here I find you DFL I knew only too well that it was 5 years this year as my Chloe's anniversary is fast approaching here and I feel as though I won't be able to breathe when it finally does
Thinking of you & your family & of course your precious wee angel

The kids and I went down to DX's house for dinner, yummy roast chicken and curly fries and then we had cake.

Tammy!

My gosh she's grown DFL!!! Glad you guys had a nice evening remembering your wee Chloe.

Tammy, thinking of you also with your Chloe's anniversary coming up. Please do stick around and talk if it helps

She's 7 1/2 now...

And then there's my bubba...
