| The Mia Bear | ||||||||
| There was much debate on what was to happen to little Mia's ashes after they had been picked up from the funeral home. We weren't exactly sure what we wanted to do with them in order to best cherish her memory. At first we had her in a jar that had an Anubis head on it, but to me that never felt right because I could not hold my baby and I desperately needed to hold her. Then one day I was checking up on my online support group, SHARE, and came across an entry on a couple that had placed their baby's ashes inside of a build-a-bear. Instantly I knew in my heart that this was what Mia needed. After talking with friends and family, it became a reality. Myself, along with Gaib (Mia's daddy) and my dad went to the Build-a-Bear store. Gaib and I had the day before picked out the bear we wanted. So we began the process of getting her stuffed and in each of Mia's furry little arms is a purple heart. One for both of her parents. The proceeds from the hearts go to different charities. This made me very happy as some of the charities went towards autism and downs syndrome (which mia had). Her ashes were placed inside a large plush heart that says "i love you" on the outside of it. We then placed the heart in the middle of the bear and she was sewn up. We brought her home and many times it has been a comfort to be able to cry with her in my arms and fall asleep holding my baby. I will never regret my choice to have my Mia placed inside this bear. |
