Holding Onto Memories
Instagram post - January 31, 2018 (my first after Eden passed)
I'm so glad I had this idea. I got many memories from loved ones and I am so grateful to have them saved. We also use this email as "Eden's" we use it when we donate in her name, or to collect responses from the projects we've done on her birthdays.
Jared and I did, also created a google doc where we wrote down everything we could remember about her. From the words she could say and understand, to the shape of the teeth marks she left on the crib bars (they were spread out because she had a gap in her front teeth). It is so tragic how memories fade. I hate that sometimes I ask myself something about Eden and I honestly can't remember and that it's hard to recall images of her that aren't from pictures or videos. But I love having all the memories we do have recorded. Sometimes I go through the doc and I'm reminded of things I knew I would have forgotten.
