Today, we went to the memorial service held by the hospital where DTs were born and where DT1 died.
Each year it is held and the Drs and Nurses from Neo Natal Unit take part with the music and readings etc.
It is a very sad service but we go every year as it important to us. To remember DT1.
DT2 made us feel very proud today as they have a procession taking up, to the front of the chuch, all the cards {that we write the babies names on} and he chose to join in by himself, previously DH has gone with him.
We always sing this hymn to the tune of Morning has Broken at the service.
The rest of the service is made up of poems and music and prayers that parents have either written or chosen to remember their babies with.
