Have you ever received a special gift from someone and it made your day? Some people just seem to know exactly what you need, when you need it. I have a special friend like that and am so grateful. She sent me this photo to let me know she has ordered it for me. Why? Because she is thinking about me.
She lives in Australia. Another world away it seems. But she also lost a child around the same time I did. Although we have never met, we share this bond. A bond only a mother who has lost her child can understand.
I hope nobody ever knows the feeling of child loss. I know some of you here have shared that you have lost a child. My heart goes out to you that understand.
Never take anyone or anything for granted in life. We never know what the next moment holds. Be happy and hold on to the memories of your loved ones. They are forever in your heart.

That’s a lovely gift. I can’t imagine the pain that you endure every day. Praying for you to be strong.
She always knows what to send me. Thank you so much, your friendship is always right on time.
what a wonderful gift Carol!
I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child. I know the fear handing them the car keys knowing that they would be far from where I was, in the car.
But losing them would be hard.
I’ve lost friends, my father, my father-in-law, mother-in-law and my grandparents. The memories are what keeps the pictures and the wander project going.
I hope you never know the forever pain of losing a child. No parent should ever outlive their child. You are very blessed.
i agree. I have felt the edges, but not the final pain. I hope i never have to. Thanks for the wishes Carol!
It’s very sad when people lose children. I am so sorry because life it’s unfair.
Yes life can be very unfair at times.
A very nice and unique gift, dear Carol … luckily I have not lost any of my loved ones except my grandparents so I cannot describe these feelings … you forget never really just say to us that time heals wounds
Thanks dear Lado. Time helps but this wound is never fully healed.
This in turn likes to believe … Be strong my dear friend
I think any death is hard for anyone too bear…I don’t know how I have borne it but then we must live the very best we can.
I have never had children but I like them..
I lost over 20 people that I cared for in 2 years for my work as a caregiver…it was very hard to bear but one has no choice on what happens to people.
Absolutely all losses are difficult Pam but until you lose a child you cannot truly understand. They are a part of you always.
Yes its really hard to bear the pain of child lose or family member.
One of life’s most difficult tasks.
That is a beautiful and thoughtful gift. Yes, My mom death anniversary was a few days ago though I miss her so much I do feel that she is watching over me.
Thanks Dawn and sorry for your loss.
You are right they will be forever in our heart. I am glad you got gift.
Thank you for your kindness.
Those are apt words for those who have lost their loved ones. Most of us have
Happy that you have a friend that thinks of you.
Yes, only those who have lost a child have this bond. But it is sad to lose anyone close to you. I am blessed to have such a friend.
This is a really unique gift. I can’t even imagine what it would be like if I lost a baby.
She knows how I feel, we actually have many of the same emotions. I hope you never know the feeling.
I cannot wait to get this on my wall.
This is one of a kind perfect. Made me sniffle!
I have to agree, the words touched my soul.
I already have a spot picked out on my wall.
When I read the message of your dear friend, almost every word echoed in my heart. I feel something very similar towards my dearest and nearest. Love is eternal, it can fight death. My soul belongs to the people I love…
So good to see you. And I am glad this helped you. I hesitated as I usually post about nature. But this really touched me, so I had to share. I agree about our souls.
Great that I have not missed this post of yours, Carol! Also it’s so nice to be back to Virily after a hiatus! Here I can find food for thought and my soul. I was not prepared for such a sincere post, but my heart was…. The words written on your friend’s present are so deep. Good that you have posted this, Carol! It can encourage and inspire many people!
The words touched my soul. That is why I had to share. Something that strong needs to be shared. Thank you again.
I have been lost my first baby boy after eleven day of delivery. He also live in my heart.But God granted me one more lovely boy.God bless him,I am very thankful to my super GOD .
I am so very sorry for your loss. You are blessed to have another child.
Thanks again and I wish you a good rest of the weekend.
This is not the first time you have received a gift from Australia. She is a very good friend of yours.
You are right, she never forgets a birthday or Christmas. She does this sometimes when I am going through some issues, we stay in close touch.
And thank you for remembering my Australian friend.
You are right, we should never take people for granted. We are codependent on each other one way or another. It reminds me of a song that I forgot that says tell your loved ones you love them while they’re still alive.
Thank you for sharing. I agree with you and when they are gone they are gone.
Also, wishing you a great rest of the weekend.
