Seasons + Symbols, that is today's Capture Your Grief topic. Thanksgiving and the holiday season will always remind me of Faith. We found out I was pregnant with her the day before Thanksgiving, 2013. That Christmas Owen gave me some stuffed animals for her and also a bracelet with a baby carriage charm. I will forever hold these times in my heart with Faith. I was in love with her from the moment I saw the positive pregnancy test.
I do not dread the holiday seasons, but I suppose there is something inside me that has a bit of sadness as that time of year approaches. I have always loved Christmas, and will continue to, but there will always be a bitter-sweetness associated with the holiday season for me now.
I think of Faith when I see a cross or a star or when I see her name...all of which of course I see during the holiday season.
This picture was taken on a ferry during the Thanksgiving season of 2013 in the Seattle area. We were traveling to see a show from our home into Seattle. It is so beautiful. I think of Faith a LOT when I see nature. I somehow feel closer to her especially around water. I guess I think of how awesome God is when I am around the sea or ocean and that just makes me think of Faith.
