[tri-wings] Re: Practial if morbid advice???

Sophie,
 
I am so sorry that you have to be here, but welcome, you will find this  
group of people are always there to listen, help, laugh and cry. 
 
On a practical note, is it possible to have Rosa added to the existing  
stone? I dont know if this is something that can be done, or if you would even  
want to, but it just occured to me. 
 
It is funny that you bring this subject up though. Just the other day I was  
thinking about Emma (my daughter's) headstone and how for the next 300 years 
or  maybe even more, people will see it, and know how important to us she is. I 
know  every time I have ever been in a cemetary, even before losing our 
daughter, I  have visited the baby area and noticed and truly felt the pain the 
family must  have experienced burying their truly loved child. It made me feel 
so 
proud, in a  strange sort of way, to know that even after I am gone, 
strangers will see my  daughter's headstone, think of her, and send her love. I 
know 
she is not there,  but that place is a memorial for me, an honor to her and a 
way that I say how  wonderful she is to me.It is a silly thing really, she is 
in such  a  perfect place, the place that marks her burial is not important to 
her, but us  mothers sometimes need that little bit of extra.  So, perhaps the 
 investment would be worth it, to get Rosa her own marker. Maybe a small 
plaque  in the beginning, and later on, maybe financially you could do 
something 
more. 
 
Just my two cents and thanks for sharing this, it gave me an opportunity to  
share my thoughts.
