Erika and her husband have a baby boy whose memory they keep alive with the books they read him, the mementos they keep, and the I love yous they share. Undeterred by increasingly grim prognoses during pregnancy, they chose to carry their baby until he was ready to go Home. The couple has found comfort and relief, albeit temporary, from devastating heartbreak through frequent gravesite visits and the sense of Baby’s presence via many things, including small birds, ladybugs, and pennies from Heaven. Although as bereaved parents they can no longer provide for his needs, they can—and do—give Baby his many wants, so they skip the diaper aisle and head straight for the toys. Together they decorate Baby’s gravesite with these and other gifts, often arranging them in themes or in celebration of his birthday and holidays. Erika is an editor in the energy industry. She and her husband live with their two kittens, Barnes and Noble, near their baby’s resting place in Texas.
