Not a title I would have ever expected to write in my lifetime. Nevertheless, everything is set for tomorrow morning at 10:30. I haven't planned a thing, this is happening as a result of some calls made by my wonderful mother in law (all the way from Ireland) and a lot of follow up by my husband. I wanted it done, but I couldn't bring myself to do any part of it. However, Kieran totally stepped up to the plate and I will be forever grateful to him for that. I knew I married an awesome guy, but it's times like this when you see the awesomeness at work that I feel so very lucky to have him in my life.
It will just be Kieran, me and a priest - that's how we want it. One of the Catholic cemeteries in Niles (a suburb close to Chicago) has a place especially for babies. We will get a small headstone and hopefully it will get done before the ground freezes, otherwise we'll have to wait until spring.
I have never been one to go to a cemetery to visit after the funeral. I don't know if I will change my tune now, but even if I don't (or can't), knowing Daniel is somewhere where I can find him makes me feel a little more at peace.
