Very sorry again! It must be so hard!

We had the little funeral today.

We kind of have a little miracle (starting with the fact that we were able to save it to bury). It would have cost $600 to get the plot, but back in the 1950s or so, someone had an infant plot but didn't use it. They donated it to the city, and we received it for free. In addition, our Kumbaros (sponsor for our marriage) had made a box years ago for another woman in the church who had a miscarriage. They unfortunately weren't able to save their baby in order to use it. That gal came by last night and gave the box to us, along with enough taco soup for two dinners. It was gorgeous. Just a simple flip-close Box that our Kumbaros had written and drawn on. There were quotes from the Nicene Creed and a prayer, and a cross on the top. Inside, their were icons of Christ and the Theotokos (Theo = Mother (of) Tokos = God. I.e., The Virgin Mary), a small wooden St. Anthony's Cross (three bar), and a burial cloth. It was lined with white fleece and had a thick fleece pillow on the bottom. Another woman from church came (who actually shares our baby's first name), who had also miscarried at 11w and has been so supportive of me all this week, and she brought flowers. I started crying when I saw the flowers, because I had so wanted some, but we hadn't the time to get them. The last little thing that stuck out to me was the fact that the baby "next door", buried around '54 or '55, had the same middle name as ours. So many random things all coming together, and I know God is looking out for us, especially now. I'm so grateful.View attachment 4035658
