Day 28: Memory

Day 28: Memory - Share one of your most significant memories on this journey of grief, it can be a positive or negative memory.

     The first thing that popped in my mind was the day I picked up the babies.  I was still in so much physical pain so it was a long, bumpy drive out to Philly to pick them up.  I remember everything about the drive and walking into the funeral home.  I'll never forget that moment when I was handed a box with the 3 tiny white boxes that held what was left of my children.  I remember clutching that box, with tears rolling down my face, as the funeral home director went over the paperwork. I couldn't tell you one word he said.  All I could think about was that I gave birth to 3 beautiful babies, and this is all I get? I wanted to take home my 3 babies, not a box of ashes.  It's not fair.
