- I don't know if you have been reading my twitter or not but my wisdom teeth are coming in. They started when I was very pregnant with Jackson and luckily they came up and went back down. Well, Friday afternoon they decided they would pay me another very painful visit. This time was worse. They hurt a lot! Yesterday I went to the dentist and he referred me to an oral surgeon. So, it looks like I will be getting my wisdom teeth taken out like soon. They are killing me!!! (Hello diet!)
- Yesterday I stopped by Maddie's spot on the way home from the dentist. When I got there I immediately saw that her flowers were missing. There was a fresh grave right by hers. The funeral home called James the other day to tell him they broke a butterfly of hers but I was not expecting to see her flowers gone and her vase was missing to. As soon as I saw it I burst into tears. It hurt. The only thing that I can do for my daughter was taken from me. I had cute lady bug decorations and a beautiful flower arrangement for her. I also tied a bow I made especially for her on her flowers and now its all missing. I sent James a message crying telling him everything was missing. Poor James thought something was wrong with Jackson and started to freak. I was just so upset. My heart was breaking again. I was also angry. I wanted to go into the funeral home and yell at them but I was to sad. Today now that I have calmed down I am going to call them and be "that mom". They WILL find her stuff and it WILL be out back out ASAP! I understand they have other funerals and they need to take her stuff up but they should put it back!!! After leaving Maddie's spot I started to really miss her. I talked to her and cried all the way home. I just kept thinking I have two babies. They are almost the same age. How can this be?

I don't blame you for being sad. Praying for you and sending big hugs your way.
I'm sitting here, eyes welled up with tears about Maddie's spot. ::begin rant:: At the risk of being an instigator, you need to call that funeral home and give them hell about it. They're so lucky that you're a much nicer person (I'm sure) than I would be about it! I would make every single person I got a hold of over there regret coming into work today. And you better believe they'd never make this same mistake again and hurt someone the way they have. I'm just seeing red over this on your behalf. ::end of rant:: Stay strong!
Wisdom teeth no fun. I have been nursing a horrible toothache that can't be fixed until the 31st and on top of that I think my wisdom teeth are coming in as well. Painful.
Oh my gosh I am so sorry :'( I really hope you find Maddie's things for her spot. I can't even BEGIN to imagine how angry you must be, not to mention sad. Aaaaand I hope those wisdom teeth get to come out soon! I've heard they are not fun.
My parents have gone through the same thing with my sister's grave many many times. It is so upsetting to my poor mom, she feels EXACTLY the same way that you do. When the ONLY thing you can do for your child is to decorate their grave, it is very heartbreaking to have that so unexpectedly taken away from you. I think you are taking the right move by calling the cemetary. They of all people need to be more sympathetic to what is going on here.
My 7 month old daughter passed away 6 years ago and we have problems with the cemtery taking things they think are "unsightly" to the eye off her headstone. Nothing allowed on the ledge and only a shepherds hook with "1" hook is allowed. I had a shepherds hook with "2" hooks where id hang wreaths and flowers for 5 years. But this year that was the new rule so they went to the baby section where she is buried and took several things away including the shepherds hook. So when asked they told us they had put flyers around town of the new rule changes..well I dont live in that town! And they told me I was more than welcome to dig through the dumpster. It hurts bec I feel things I do for her are gifts. Life for her birthday,holidays. Thats all I can give her. And my 4 year old painted her sister things I put up there and they say its "unsightly" and remove. I just wonder who gives them the say or right on what is unsightly to the cemetery. They mow and leave the graves covered in grass,I think maybe they should take care of that rather worry about a shepherds hook havings 2 hooks or if a 4 year olds painting she painted for her sis is unsightly. we also have had alot of things stolen,flags and wreaths.etc..and its a popular cemetary. Drives me mad. Hope things get better with your situation. Ive dealt with mine for years. Btw Jacksons a DOLL
I'm so sorry to hear about the missing flowers for your sweet girl. That's so wrong of them - you deserve and apology from them and they need to fix what is wrong!
I'm adding your button to my blog and if you'd like to add my button it's on my page: www.theduggans2011.blogspot.com
Peace & prayers for you guys!
I pray that you have the words and strength to gracefully and forcefully get your point across to the cemetery/funeral home about vase and personal items tomorrow. What a horrible shock for you! Also, praying oral surgeon can do something quickly to relieve your pain and that you are pleased with Jackson's PT recommendations.
