Remembering our darling

We finally found the perfect photoframe (L-O-V-E) to put up the lovely precious pictures of our angel Raphaelle. :-)

White Roses

As mentioned previously, Raphaelle was born on the day in dedication of the Basilica of St Mary Major (or known popularly as Our Lady of Snows). On the 5th August each year, a custom that commemorates the story of the miraculous snowfall is still maintained: at the conclusion of the Solemn Mass in the Basilica, a shower of white rose petals is dropped from the dome of the Chapel of our Lady. 

Therefore, Justin and I decided to buy white roses for Raphaelle's niche at St Teresa's Church and we managed to find a small bunch of white+yellow artificial roses for the niche. :-)

Today is 6 September and it has been a month since Raphaelle was called home to our Lord. Justin and I attended the sunset Mass, and we were pleasantly surprised to see that the church is decorated with similar white+yellow roses at the sanctuary. What a beautiful way for us in memory of our daughter Raphaelle. :-)

Time flies...a month has passed since that special day when Raphaelle was born, and I am thankful to God that I have you @Justin Teo to journey with me.
