A few things you never think about when your pregnant is flowers and funerals, why would you, your bring a life into the world not saying goodbye to one, for some of us the 2 things run to close together, I should have been buying pretty summer dresses and flowers for Winter's hair instead I'm flicking through a broucher about funeral flowers. Now most of the time when you approach this job you have an idea what said person liked, favourite songs, colours, flowers those kind of thing but when the person you have to say goodbye to is someone that's never uttered the word hello it's different. For our little Winnie we opted for a beautiful pink and purple butterfly with the quote "just when the caterpillar thought the world was over she turned into a beautiful butterfly" on it. We picked a baby pink coffin and I placed her car hanger saying "little lady on board" onto it. We asked that no one wore black we wanted as much colour and as many butterflies as possible, we asked people to donate to the bereavement suite at the childrens hospital to help them with costs for things like handprints, casts of hands and feet and all the amazing work they do there.
