Day #10: Symbol

Pink Lemonade

Today was a hard image to come up with.  I have a hard time really deciding what is Clara’s symbol.  We have several things in our home that are symbols like pink flowers, angels, peanut or sweet pea things.  I really had to dig through my thoughts and heart to find the right one to share.  Then, just like that, it came to me!  DUH!!  Pink Lemonade!!

Pink Lemonade reminds me of the night of Clara’s viewing when my husband spoke such beautiful words to the crowded church.  He spoke about our girl who added so much pink to our home.  He also spoke about the sourness and pain the lemon of a situation we were in at the moment.  From that time on Pink Lemonade has stuck around.  It is our team name for the annual “Run for Their Lives” SIDS run in Sioux Falls, our birthday and special Clara day snacks (pink lemonade cupcakes), and is the name of my blog (alittlepinklemonade.blog.com).  It truly symbolizes Clara.

The picture I picked today has our soft pink flower to symbolize Clara and the sour lemon to symbolize our loss.  The beautiful thing is now that they are mixed together we get a wonderful opportunity to remember Clara and help spread the word about SIDS and help other families who are experiencing the loss of a child.
