I love flowers and everything nature. I love my gardens and wish I had more time to have more of them. I really wanted to plant an oak tree in Hunter’s honour since his brother had nicknamed him “Acorn,” but they grow too big to plant in our backyard so I opted for a garden. My mom got us a statue of a baby sleeping within angle wings. I purchased an acorn ornament which hangs beside and there are different flowers that bloom through out spring and summer. I often sit with a cup of tea on the steps of our deck and just enjoy our garden.
My parents have over 5 acres of land so we were able to plant a garden there that does have an Oak tree. It was planted the year Hunter was born and died, so it will grow as he should have. It has the same sleeping baby in angle wing statue.
Around my neck hangs my most favourite and priceless creative memory. It is a necklace with a pendant in the shape of a heart that has Hunter’s footprint on the front and name and birthday on the back. I never take it off my neck except when I am showering or swimming. If I forget to put it on I get a little anxious. Having it around my neck keeps him close to my heart at all times and is a reminder that he was real and he will forever be in my heart. I often find myself touching and playing with it, remembering how much I love and miss my baby.
