Extra Pictures of Linnea

 I didn't have my camera with me in the hospital when Linnea was born, so my sister Erica took a few pictures for me with her phone.  I had forgotten about those for a long time, but recently received them.  Each picture is so special to me since I have so few. 

These pictures are the kids meeting and holding Linnea.  We were advised by the grief counselor to let the kids do so, as it will give them understanding and closure.  She says that what the children imagine in their mind is often scarier than real life.  Instead of a traumatic event, it became a special event.
