Carleigh's Corner.

about the piece.
In Holly's words, "Family members on my dad's side gave us some wonderful concrete pieces at Carleigh's visitation before her funeral. The pieces sat in our utility room for many months until I finally brought them our and sealed them. I decided to create a little corner for Carleigh in our flower beds. Although last summer, there weren't many flowers at all. We only had the plants that came up ever year. I didn't plant anything else, but I did grow a lot of weeds. The corner is still there but this year I plan on making it more colorful by actually planting some flowers. Whenever I am creating something for Carleigh, I always feel closer to her." Holly posted about Carleigh's corner on her blog. The original post is here.
about the contributor.
Holly describes her daughter and her journey, "My husband and I found out on December 15, 2008 when I was around 22 weeks pregnant that our daughter, Carleigh McKenna, wasn't going to live. She was diagnosed with a fatal neural tube defect called anencephaly. It was devastating. I carried our daughter to term and we made the most of the time we had left with our daughter. Carleigh was born still on March 28, 2009." Holly blogs at Caring for Carleigh.

ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful place for you to have for her. A memorial that is more than just in your heart and soul is such a comforting place to be! What a great thing to have in her memory! I would love to see a picture with Hannah, Kyndra and some day Lainey sitting on the bench....all of your girls together!
