My favorite keepsake is probably the hand and foot molds the nurses did at the hospital. It's a physical representation of my daughter's hands and feet as they were at the time of her death.
I with the hospital had given me Calypso's hospital bands. Instead they threw them out, not even offering them to me.
Mine are Parker's hand and foot molds. Although its a close second is the blanket he was wrapped in when he died in my arms. The blanket still smells like him 2 years later.
I only wish the hospital had offered professional pictures to us. I would love to have more pictures!
I'd say her blanket b/c it touched her for most of her life.
I wish I would've got 3D hand and foot molds. I knew about them but I don't know why I didn't do them.
I have weird feelings about all of my keepsakes. They all hold a dear spot, and yet I find that I hate them at the same time. My cousin made me a name print (she has a store) that had Logan's name on it, and then the verse from 2 Samual "...He shall not return to me, but I shall go to him." That is pretty special to me. Then of course his tree we planted at the park. And I have an afghan a stranger made me out of the blue for Logan. And the jewelery I bought in his honor... But there are two things I so desperately want to this day...profesional pictures and plaster casts. I just didn't know they were options... I would have loved to have had his hands or feet...shoot, maybe even his face! But in the end I know that most of the momentos (aside from a ring I bought that I wear daily) stay locked up in the trunk with the rest of his stuff.
