T-Day

Tomorrow is our boy's first birthday, even though he'll never get to turn one we will never forget him or the impact he has had on our lives.

The last day we spent with Thomas, was sunny but windy and as we were leaving the hospital and heading back to the car a gust of wind picked up (this has been a recurrent thing) and as we reached the car we were surrounded by a flight of blossom leave as they were blown from the trees we were parked next to. We thought them cherry blossom but when we bought Thomas' tree last weekend we discovered it was actually a flowering plum.

Dragonflies are my way of representing Thomas. I often draw one on my hand, I wear one on a necklace, I have one tattooed with his initials on my ankle and Kris has been trying to find a dragonfly candle for months. I ended up finding a mould on ebay and bought some wax so I could make one, as a surprise. The package was a surprise but as Kris was here when it arrived the making of the candle became a team effort, and much more special because of it.
