How it is looked at and interpreted comes from one's own mind, and we cannot control how people think. If you want it to be a religious symbol, then you can see it as such. |
I was in denial all the way to the hospital that morning. All the while I was thinking, 'These poor parents that don't know their child is dead yet, because I know it's not my daughter' and then I opened the curtain and there she was. |
I'm trying so hard not to take the things people say so personally. I only wanted this to be a positive thing and it makes me so sad that all of this is putting a dark shadow over that. I'm just a mom who lost a child that wants to do this. |
Of course now the fact that she said that to me that night affects me because it was her last night here on earth. |
She had a lot of friends, both men and women. She was the kind of person that people were just drawn to. She was just beautiful and sweet. |
The memorial is about a person, not a religion. We just wanted a place to where we could have a brick with her name on it, and other people could have a brick with their child's name. It almost serves as a reminder that our children existed. |
When I saw an article about this Christmas Box Angel, I thought it was quite a beautiful thing to do in memory of anybody who's died. |
