Rachels Heart


My sweet niece had this heart made in remembrance of Rach. It is a physical reminder of love, comfort and healing. It reminds me of what a blessing Rachel was and is to me.Each part of this heart has a meaning. It symbolizes an intention or blessing:

Rose quartz: for the love we had for each other as well as peace and emotional healing.
Amethyst: for easing of grief.
Emerald: to remind me of all the beautiful memories I have of her.
A single pearl: for faith and motherhood. I WILL ALWAYS BE HER ONE AND ONLY MOTHER.
Moonstone: for all the hopes and dreams I had for her.
Silver: for perseverance and strength as I heal.
Butterfly charm: According to Irish legend, when a mother loses a child, they come to visit them in the form of a white butterfly.
and at the center of it all
Citrine: it represents Rachel, inside my heart and surrounded by all of my love,hope,dreams,faith,and lovely memories.

Is that not beautiful? I keep it where I can always see it.What better day to share it with you than on Valentines Day. And I can think of no better words to go with it than those from our poem.
I carry your heart, I carry it in my heart.


"Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your unfailing love" psalm 51:1

David knew what I know now...that Gods

LOVE NEVER FAILS.

  1. I'm just seeing this post, but I'm so glad you love it so much. The artist that made it is an amazing woman, and she puts so much love and time into her work.

    I love you, Suzie.
