Ahhhh...Bentley should be here. I shouldn't have to sit here and think of creative ways to memorialize Bentley at Easter. We should be getting Easter pictures, and we should be planning on Easter celebration, not missing our son from an important holiday. :( But, I will share my idea for what we are doing. And, you will some pics to come soon!
Blake and I purchased two Easter baskets for Bentley. One basket for the house, and the other for his grave. Some may ask why...what's the point? He will never get to see it. But, oh well. We are creating an Easter basket with some odds and ends to place on his grave to make it look nice and pretty, and the basket we purchased for the house will be Bentley's Easter basket. Inside this basket, I have some eggs that will have pieces of paper inside of them. We will write reasons why we love Bentley, memories that we had with Bentley, or maybe something we wished we had gotten to do with Bentley written inside these eggs. Just alittle something to include him in our holidays. I have a basket for him and for Chase. Gotta do what I gotta do my boys!
Many people may wonder why I do these things, but I do them because I love Bentley. I would have offered Bentley the world if he were still here. I'd do anything for him. And, I still plan to live that way. I plan to live for my precious little Bentley. I plan to honor him in everything I do. I plan to make him proud. I want him to stand up there and say, "That's my parents!" :) I love being able to do little things for Bentley whether it be keeping his grave look nice or finding memtos that keep his memory alive. Which is honestly what it boils down to...I need his memory kept alive. Bentley is our heart and our sole. He is our driving force that has pushed us to where we are now. God gave us Bentley, and i don't plan to ever be ungrateful for those 38 weeks that we had with him, and i will continue to make the most of what I can to memorialize him! I love Bentley so much, and I'll do anything for him.
