A tree. Don't know how it happened but today this has become Beckett's symbol. Let me explain. As I was thinking about decorating the nursery, I did a lot of research. I fell in love with a green nursery with a huge tree on the wall that would hold up letters spelling Beckett's name.
Fast forward to today. A sweet, sweet friend texted me while I was on the way to pick out my son's head stone. (It still seems very unreal to say that) Anyways, her husband and her decided they would like to buy a tree for us to plant at our house in honor of Beckett. I LOVE THIS IDEA! Well we get to the place to pick out the headstone and Justin sees one with a tree...it seemed perfect! So this is what we got. Some time we might have a party at my house where we have food and fellowship and fun and then go see his head stone. I guess that probably doesn't sound like a great time to most of you but to me, it sounds perfect.
I love the fact that I will have a tree that will grow and remind me of my son. It just seems right!
What a perfect way to memorialize Beckett. A tree growing taller each year. Keep writing, this is so therapeutic and will keep you moving forward. Hugs!
