Rest in Peace Sweetheart

On Friday we did the hardest thing any parent could do, we buried our baby. It was a heart wrenching experience and one I hope no parent has to face. We took great solace in knowing so many people were touched by Grace and offered their support to us.

After the service we requested all the guest leave the cemetery so Holly and I could bury Grace in private. We brought her into this world together and we were going to see it through to the end together. The burial was conducted in a very respectful manner with great consideration to our feelings.

After everything was done and we were left alone we knelt down in front of her grave and prayed for our baby girl. I asked all the other children in the Garden of Angels to welcome Grace into their arms and to look after her. We hope she will become part of their family and their spirits can play together.

As Holly and I knelt there looking at all the flowers around her grave we couldn't help but a notice a single butterfly make his way out of a bouquet of flowers. He sat on top of a rose for a moment and then gently floated-off circling around the flowers upon us. It was a fitting end to a beautiful service.

We're very grateful so many friends and family attended the service and offered their support. It meant so much to Holly and I. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
