Capture Your Grief: Day 25 - Earth Remeberance

After Elisa was stillborn a friend who also had a loss sent me a "seeds of life" tree.

It came as a kit, with a pot, some soil, a single oak tree seed, and a little bit of moss to keep the seed warm and protected after it was newly planted.

We planted it the day after her funeral, and watched it slowly grow.  From a tiny little vulnerable  sprout, to a stronger stalk, that then grew larger leaves.

Now, today it is thriving in a little pot we have on our front porch, the first thing we see as we get home.

Our hope is to eventually make a memorial garden to honor both of our girls, and this tree will be an integral part of it.
