| My friend made a delicious carrot cake for Kai's Birth Day. She even remembered to put two candles on top! |
 |
| Our daughter helped me blow out Kai's two candles. |
 |
| My husband lighting candles outside. Our friends helped us remember Kai by being with us and placing candles around his tree in our yard. |
 |
| My candle. |

| I placed it in the snow around Kai's tree. |

| Our daughter, Kai's big sister and her candle. |

 |
| Our friends also placed their candles around Kai's tree. |
 |
| SO pretty in the snow. We left them out in the dark for several hours while it snowed. There were still four candles burning when we put them out at 4am! The rest were buried in snow! |
 |
| Part of our gathering of friends who think it's a good thing to remember Kai's Birth Day! I love them!! I think Kai must love them, too. I like to believe he sent the snow as a reminder of himself. He was born during a snowstorm! |
akemi, remembering kai this weekend. i will always think of him, as he shares a birthday with me. xo
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful! What a wonderful celebration - we should do something like that but I don't know what date to use since our son was born so early. I will have to find something I'm comfortable with. I'm glad you have such supportive friends, that is a precious gift indeed.
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful. How wonderful that so many people remember and honour Kai with you. xx
ReplyDeleteWell Jenni! Belated Happy Birthday !! I hope you were able to spend time with your friends on your birthday as well!
ReplyDeleteI chose the date that Kai was stillborn instead of the date that we found out he had died (Jan. 6th at about 10:00 a.m.) because it was more meaningful to my husband and I...I still had the hope that he would somehow be born alive when we found out on the 6th. I had that hope right up until the silence when he didn't cry and the room was silent.
ReplyDeleteI am so grateful that our friends want to share in Kai's Birth Day. It really helps my daughter as well since a couple of her friends were there also!
