Closure...

Well, today we buried little Bethany. She was buried in a group service at Resurrection Cemetery, where her brother was also buried exactly 9 months ago today. The service was so nice and reassured us that Bethany is in a beautiful, peaceful place now. I know that we wish she could still be growing in my belly right now, but I guess the idea that she is in Heaven playing with her brother and Sasha and Buddy is very comforting. She is also buried very close to her brother which made me feel better too. We stood by his head stone during the graveside service.

I am feeling confident and hopeful that Dave and I will never have to experience burying a child again. We are going to stay positive that when we get pregnant again we will have much better results. It dawned on me during the service today that losing Hank and Bethany has changed me. While I am so sad that they are gone, losing them has strengthened my faith and softened my heart. For this, I am thankful.

So, even though I labeled this post "closure" doesn't mean that my feelings are gone. It's just the start of the next chapter in my life and progress in moving forward. I will never forget Bethany and Hank - they will forever hold a piece of my heart.

Rest in Peace to my Angel Babies:
Baby Boy "Hank" Anderson taken from me on October 13, 2009 and buried February 6, 2010
Bethany Sara Anderson born/died August 8, 2010 and buried November 6, 2010
Mommy and Daddy will always love you both! We will meet again someday...
