Day 2: HEART. In previous years, I asked people to post photos of their children on one of the days. Of course with me not giving this enough thought, this excluded all of the people who did not have photos of their children. So this year I wanted to do something that everyone could take part in, regardless of whether or not they have photographs. Today’s subject is inspired by the poem “I Carry Your Heart” by E.E. Cummings. Let’s flood the world with a sea of hearts in honour of all the children that we are dedicating this project to. Who are you carrying in your heart? Draw a heart to represent your own heart and write your children’s names in the center of them. If you did not name your children, just draw the number of hearts that you are carrying inside your heart. You do not need to be creative to do this, just a simple hand drawn heart will be perfect. You may want to write a little about your children’s stories. Share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. I look forward to seeing all of your beautiful hearts!
After reading this description, I instantly thought of my bracelet. A heart and our baby's nickname is on one of the charms.
"Doodle" was a nickname that I heard years ago and it stuck with me. The little girl they called Doodlebug had big curls and a huge smile, and I imagined my little girl (or boy) would look similar.
I sometimes regret not officially naming our baby... It just hurt too bad to talk about it.
So, Doodle will always be in my heart until we are reunited in Heaven.
