Keeping
Our Angels Close
One
of my favorite ways to keep and remember Alana is keeping her pictures
in a little heart locket that I wear every day. On one side of the
locket I have a her sonogram picture, and on the other side a picture
of her after she was born. It's my way of still carrying Alana with
me everywhere.
I love this idea a lot. You have the option of keeping your baby's
pictures, sonograms, finger prints, hand prints, or foot prints
inside. You can also get the locket engraved. They come in all shapes,
sizes, and designs. Some can hold up to six photos. If you don't
have any pictures of your baby, you can buy any pendant that means
something special to you, that represents your child. The best part
about wearing a necklace with a pendant is being able to keep your
baby close to your heart.
