A space of grace

Spending some time at Claire and Henry's place.

At first, we didn't know whether we wanted a grave site for Claire or not.  It just doesn't seem right for a baby.  But then we found the TEARS Foundation Memorial at Bonney-Watson Memorial Park in Seatac. It's in front of a special section dedicated to infants and children under a giant evergreen tree.  It has such a sweet feeling, we knew we wanted a spot there for Claire and her brother Henry to share. Many of the markers have decorations and toys around them.  It's like a scavenger hunt for the boys each time we go visit.  Some of the markers even have photographs of the children on them, including Claire's two neighboring markers, so of course, she had to have her photo there, too.  We finally have a special place where we can go to celebrate the lives of our two babies in heaven.  A place where they will always be remembered.
