Allie's Grave

We have been waiting for 3 months for Allie's headstone to arrive. Not having her headstone was hard for me. I think it was because you could see where her little grave had been dug up. Looking at yellow grass instead of green grass. Nothing marking she had been buried there. It's almost a sense of closure now seeing her grave marked.

We found out on Monday that it was placed and as soon as Benton arrived home from work we were in the car driving to see her. It of course brought tears to my eyes. It turned out beautiful.

 

 

After we left I felt so sad. We decided that we needed to place some things at her grave to brighten it up. I immediately went to Michael's to search for the perfect flowers. I personally am not a fake flower girl but when I saw this sparkly butterfly I thought of our sweet Allie. She is the purest thing I know, so I bought some white flowers to go along with it. I think it turned out nice and I am so glad she has them to sit at her grave with her.

 

 

 

 

My heart still feels shattered but hopefully I can start putting it back together. I know that's what Allie would want. I've just never dealt with so much sadness. Love you sweet baby girl.
