Fabian's Funeral

 On May 25th was the memorial service for all the dead born babies of the five big hospitals in Munich...
 

 The grave is so beautiful with a lot of flowers...

 It's called the "butterfly grave"...

 The funeral and the memorial takes place twice a year: in May and in October...

 We were so sad...but it was also a good feeling to know that our boy can now rest with all the other babies who are just like him...

 The jewish rabbi who was there with representatives of other religions asked if the parents wanted to lay down a stone (they had one stone for each baby) on the tombstone. We did that and we also took one home...

People also brought toy cars or balls...

 A picture of some of the parents...it was good to know that everybody had experienced the same...

 There was a protestant priest, a muslim, a jew and a catholic lady from the hospital crisis councelors...

 We walked around the cemetery...it's so pretty...

A picture that Jordan took through the door of a mausoleum...

It was a really nice but also really sad day. We are so proud that we are the parents of Emily and Fabian. We think about our baby boy every day and he is always with us!
