Special Memory Bracelet

I received a surprise package in the mail yesterday from my Mom. It was a gift for Holdon’s birthday. It’s a Pandora bracelet with 3 charms on it: an “H”, a flower with his birthstone, and a small angel. It was such an overwhelming and touching gift to let me know she was thinking about us and our little angel. Thank you Mom! It’s beautiful.

I have to admit, I’ve always thought Pandora bracelets were a little overpriced for what they are and never really wanted one before, but I fell in love with this bracelet instantly, and will cherish it always. What a perfect birthday present for my angel!

Bracelet1As far as everything else, I’m doing okay, but still not sleeping well and I seem to be starting my period a few days early. So April 1 = CD 1. Lovely. Great way to start off hell month. Very fitting.

All I can say is, hopefully we’ll have better news at the end of the month. Sending out love and prayers to my fellow bloggers. April is a rough month for many of us on here with miscarriage anniversaries, would-have-been due dates and not-birthdays. The only thing worst than going through it all the first time, is having to relive it year after year. I know it won’t always be this hard, but this year is especially hard.

  1. This bracelet is delicate and beautiful! Your Mom is awesome. I’m always thinking of you and mentioned you in my blog knowing April is the worst month for you. April 1st was also CD1 for me. Maybe it’s a good thing? I hope–I’m putting my hope in your jar. Love and hugs. XOXO

    1. Thanks hon, and likewise! I just read your post and was about to comment. Thinking about you too. I know April is a hard month for you too hon. But you’re right, perhaps CD 1 on April 1 is a good sign! Lots of love and hugs back!

  2. Your mom is so incredible to send you such a thoughtful bracelet. Not only is it nice she thought of you and her grandson, but the bracelet is a perfect way to keep him close to you at all times. I’m so sorry you’re still not sleeping and AF arrived on April 1st. Be kind to yourself though. I also hope you have better news at the end of this month. As always, you are constantly in my prayers

  3. Such a lovely gift and beautiful way to remember your son and her grandson. I’m sorry that April is so hard, will be hoping that it goes by as quickly as possible for you. Will be keeping you in my thoughts.

  4. What a great way to beautifully commemorate your son. I want April to be over for you but I also know that being mindful of what’s happening and allowing our minds to process these events and even sit with them for a little bit is all part of the healing process. Hang in there! Thinking of you often my dear!! Hugs.

  5. That is such a loving and beautiful gesture, I’m in tears (how sad is that?). I am so glad you have such wonderful support. I know it doesn’t take away any of the pain, the sadness, the missing, the longing. But it is so essential, all the same.

    I can’t imagine life without it, for you or any of us. April is both an anniversary of my first miscarriage last year and the due date for my last pregnancy of 2013. I was due a couple of weeks after a colleague who just came to work today with her newborn (2.5 weeks old, she was early). I suppose I should thank the universe for testing my mettle (again) but I was actually really glad to see them both.

    I will be thinking of you plenty as the weekend comes and brings Holdon’s non-birthday. I know we’ve all said it a thousand times collectively, but I really am sorry your son is not here with you. Sending you heaps of love, hugs and endurance.

    1. Aw! I’m sorry this made you cry. I’ve been such an emotional mess the past few days too. It’s so hard, but you’re right, it really is so essential to feel it all the same. I’m so sorry April is a hard month for you too. I will be thinking about you and your angles too. What a hard situation that must have been for you. Your strength is amazing! Sending you heaps of love and hugs back!

  6. What a beautiful and thoughtful gift. I am so sorry this month brings so many heartaches with it. You are in my thoughts and prayers sweet friend.

  7. Such a beautiful gift for a beautiful lady. I’m sorry this is a bad month. I’ll be sending you love, prayers, and positivity. xo

  8. Hugs to you my beautiful Jo. It breaks my heart that you are going through this and if the bracelet brought you a bit of joy, if that can be possible, then I did my job. Love you.
