Saturday evening, we got to participate in a Hope Box gathering. Each Mom got a photo box and scrap paper and proceeded to decorate a box in memory of their baby.

Look Familiar? The paper pattern I picked out
was very similar to the pattern on Kaitlyn's memory
box that I put some of her nursery things in.
The table of finished Hope Boxes.
We were also asked to write a note to the mom who would be receiving our box. That was hard. It was hard to let myself go back to that place and remember what would have been helpful for me to hear from another Hope Mom. That moment at the hospital is just so... raw. All of your emotions are right there and there is no right thing for anyone to say.
My note for Kaitlyn's hope box.
