One of my biggest fears is that I will forget my Hannah, but I know that won't happen. I am more afraid of my girls forgetting her. We have given them each a necklace to wear with Hannah's fingerprint on it. They also received a special heart charm from my college friends that they wear daily. Hannah is wearing one around her neck. Blake and I each have one too.
Both girls wanted pictures of Hannah in their rooms. Done. I also just recently hung up more Hannah pictures in the hallway. They love the big one from Hannah's funeral. It is the perfect height for them to see her, and both Molly and Claire love to give the picture kisses. It has lip smudges that I just adore.
I'm not sure that we talk enough about Hannah. We talk about where she is right now, but we haven't talked much about Hannah stories from when she was with us. I think I need to change that immediately. We have so many fun videos of her that show her personality. Due to their ages, I know that the girls' memories of Hannah will be the result of the memories I share with them. I need work harder at sharing the things that I loved about Hannah when she was alive. They need to remember her alive, not just being in Heaven.
And too funny to not share...Molly is doing a lot of writing in kindergarten nowadays. She wrote this yesterday.
It reads:
Hannah Angel Beth Spivey
Claire Naughty Elise Spivey
Molly Good Rose Spivey
