Memory boxes
My friend Colleen has been doing a wonderful thing and I decided to write about it to honor her. Background information: Colleen and her husband had a child who was born much too early, whom they call Little G. Little G was born alive, but could not stay alive long at his stage of development. They treasure the brief time they had to hold him and love him.
Colleen has taken the memories from this and decided to do something to help other parents who are in similar situations. She makes memory boxes for hospitals to give to parents in similar situations to help them create memories during the brief time they have with their children. Two of the items I remember are a disposable camera and a modeling compound for making tiny hand and footprints.
Her website is Heavenly Memory Boxes.

Hey Jude...I will check to see if these boxes are the same as the one that Paula picked up. She picked it up just after we were married...and in her mind said...God, not this, not for us.
Sadly, we have 3 babies in heaven. The last loss, was very hard for us. We are thankful for CPC, and the huge support the infant loss program was for us.
I will check the site. We could use 2 boxes.
Just a brief update from us. We are living on Garfield...we got a place.
Ken, wow, I am feeling sad with you about your babies. That's a lot of loss in the short time you've been married. I can't say I know how you feel, but I can imagine how you feel because I remember how I felt when I found out I was pregnant. I also know how much you love kids. I'm glad you're finding support in the CPC. I pray that you and Paula will find peace in the midst of it, and that you will be able to carry a child to term.
Hey there...I just checked this email and found you responded to my comment. Sheesh...that is where my head is at...not good at the moment actually. Grief is a terrible thing.
We are doing better...ah...can we even say that...after I posted this, we lost again...our 4th. this time I am pretty angry, sad, angry, sad or I am just a shell...with little feeling. Paula was blessed to have the summer off to process...and I busy at work...! We are praying for twins, and the ability to carry to term and I am reminding myself that God is God...not I. I cannot fix it or change it, rather, I have to give it over...again and again.
We'd appreciate your prayers.
I remember when you first told us about Paula and how you were hoping that the two of you will have children. I hoped and still hope the same for you. You are in my prayers.
