Many times a week I see parents searching the internet for infant and child headstone ideas, as well as stillborn baby epitaphs, and epitaphs for infants. I hope I can be of some help to all of these parents. I have been in your shoes, "Googling" all of these exact terms, trying to find the perfect stone and wording for my son's very own headstone. I know all of these decisions are hard and you wish anyone but you had to make them, but I promise you, you will get through it. << Big hugs to you>> Most of the ideas for headstones below are from the monument company here in Texas that I ordered my son's headstone from.

ReplyDeleteWe have two beautiful pinwheels at Caleb's grave. I love to just sit there and watch them spin in the wind. Caleb's grave is underneath a big, beautiful dogwood tree. The day of his funeral, the dogwood blooms were falling and it looked like snow. The ground was covered in the petals. It was such a peaceful sight!!

Big, big hugs!!

Chirleen, I love it when I go to visit Jake and all is calm, and I when I get out of the car and all of the sudden his pinwheel starts blowing... like he knows we are there. <3
