Easton's headstone was placed last Saturday, April 28th (and then re-placed in the correct spot Wednesday, May 2nd but that's a whole different story...). It's beautiful and perfect and conveys exactly how we feel about our sweet baby. I have been anxiously waiting for the day it was actually in the ground. I want the whole world to know that my son is buried there and that he was loved. On the other hand, it has brought back many emotions that I thought would never come back. It just seems so final. The final tangible thing we needed to do to put our son to rest. It's officially official now, Easton's death is "set in stone" (quite literally). While it breaks my heart to see his name marking his grave instead of hanging on the wall in the room he would've shared with Asher, I continue to feel peace and know that he is watching over us urging us in the right direction so that we can all be together as a family one day.

So sweet. He is for sure watching over you all with a big smile. You'll all make it back to him someday. (((HUGS))) It's beautiful!
I. Just. Love. You. The End. :)
The headstone is perfect! My old boss had his little boy die from cancer at the age of 3 and I asked him how he stayed so positive about it when a lot of people become angry at God when they loose a child. He told me that he and his wife thought of it differently. They knew that in order to be with him again they had to live a good life so they'd have the honor of being where he already made it. That has always stuck with me and when I read Easton's headstone it went perfectly with what my boss had said. I'm so incredibly sorry you were given this card.Your one of the most wonderful people I've ever met and it breaks my heart you don't get to snuggle both your sweet babies. I hope the pain gets lighter as time goes on until the day you do get to be with Easton again and what a happy day that will be for both of you!
Im glad that you got it in the right spot!! You guys are amazing. have to second what Erika said I just love you Jaimee!
