Yesterday was our first Father’s Day since the birth and death of Victoria six weeks ago. Mike’s first Father’s day as a daddy. I asked him a couple weeks ago what he wanted for Father’s Day and he said, “Nothing”. The only way I got through Mother’s Day, which was three days after her birth and death, and the day before her funeral, was because I had a plan. At first I didn’t want anything, but after thinking about it I decided I wanted a purple carnation flower in a vase as a remembrance of Victoria. It is something I can do every mother’s day to remind myself that I am Victoria’s mommy and she was such a precious little girl. I wanted to celebrate Mike as a daddy on this day because he is a proud daddy. He was so proud of how hard she fought for life. He loved her and fought for her when other dad’s might have terminated her life. He is a good daddy! I wanted to get him something meaningful that he could keep with him as a reminder of his little girl. I decided on a key chain engraved with her name.
