I'm crying as I read this. My baby (my very first pregnancy) was called Ainsley and would have been 17 now. We had a memorial, let rose petals go over a river, and planted a rose bush with a little plaque that named her and the date we lost her. It was very healing and made moving on much easier, but I still remember that day like it was yesterday.
