Me sick on my mother's bed after just vomiting, pregnant with David last summer
This is the TPN bag that I carried around,
do you see the tube on my leg, that is where the
TPN is and it is going into my arm to David. The
bag was so heavy to carry around but I did it!
On a cloud way up in the sky is
where my little angel baby
is playing in God's playground.
Sitting there with my hand on my belly, I
was always having my hand rest on my belly to let
David know that I knew he was in there and that I
loved him, he would tug me back too.
David's grave, all his decorations for
Valentines Day(when he was concieved), I wanted to
put a lot of that stuff out there for him, I made
the flower arrangement myself, someone stole it not
to long ago, it was out there for a couple of weeks
all the other babies stuff was out there except for
his, and so I plan to make another.
David's grave, mind you, that is not 94',
the camera is off, I just took that a couple of
weeks ago, David won the Winnie the Pooh at Busch
Gardens last summer for him. Most of the other
babies out there have pinwheels so David has two. I
had just taken off his Easter decorations, I should
have taken pictures of those. Next year I will.
David at his sons grave, we went back there
later the afternoon, I wanted to spray the flowers
with water and keep them blooming.
I tried very hard to smile for the picture
when all I wanted to do was cry, so there is my
smile. I wore those colors because I wore white the
day I found out David had died, I wasn't planning
that but it happened, I wanted to do the same the
day I wanted to send him to heaven finally. I hate
wearing black for funerals, this day was a day my
Angel took his wings of flight.
My bestfriend, Joy, she came down here to be
with me, she wanted to come when I was about to give
birth my mother tole me, she called her and gave
her the news. She lives in northern Virginia, and
she got up early in the morning, dropped her son off
at pre-school and drove down here to be with me, I
sure do love my bestfriend, Thank You Joy.
This is Babyrest, where all the little
babies, 0-10 months are buried, it is so peaceful
out there, the other part is where everyone else is
buried.
David and I took turns spraying the flowers
and as you see the flowers they are all so pretty.
The stuff animals are all that I have collected
since a child and wanted to give to my children one
day, so I did.
The flowers as you can see are all flowers
people sent to the funeral home for David, the big
pink ones on the left are my mothers, the little
one with daisies are David's cousin, Della, the
purple ones are David's stepfather's, the heart is
big David's mother Mary, the red ones are David's
Dad and Rose, and the spray David and I got. They
all looked beautiful, there are more flowers out
there for him but there not in the picture, I have
another with all of them, have to find it though.
David's headstone, it reads,
David Alan Jesus Savage, III, with an angel on the
side. All the stuff animals around him, the tiger
Sean's(my brother), one of his friends at Food Lion
bought that and gave it to David for the little
David, Sean told him what had transpired. I miss
my David so much, I wish I could hold him forever.
The song that is playing is called Baby of
Mine by Bette Midler from the movie Beaches, I love
that movie.
