I am feeling sad. I am feeling sorry for us, and sorry for him. I have moments when I forget that we won't be going to pick him up in Ethiopia. I have to keep believing, as so many have told us, that everything does happen for a reason....and, at some point, I will know what that reason was.
I painted a ceramic plate last weekend with my Mom. I hung it above his pictures. On the back, I wrote, "In memory of our beautiful boy, Tamirat, with the soulful eyes, and in honor of the two children who have yet to enter our lives...2010."
We love you Tamirat.

I can't even imagine how hard it is for you. I know how these dates and reminders feel, though, at least for other occasions of grief. And they're so difficult. It's hard not to be thinking "what if?" Time helps, but only so much. ((HUGS)) to you today.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful memorial to a beautiful boy. I am thinking of you and ALL your children.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you right now and sending some positive thoughts your way. I agree with what Kelly wrote about 'time' helping only so much. You both need to grieve and feel comfortable with however long that may take. I love what you did with the photos and painted plate, very lovely. You are continuing to take definite steps toward healing and preparing for your referral for sibs 2-6.Take care, Meg B-Chicago
