We lost my mother in law 3 weeks after I found out I was pregnant. Then my grandpa in law a month and a half later. I have a lot of family on my side that my son will grow up knowing. But my husband has no parents or grandparents left. I want my son to know his grandma. I tell him every night that his grandma jenny loves him and is his guardian angel in heaven. My son also has what the doctors call Angel Kisses. His still have no faded and they are on his forehead and the top of his neck right below the hairline. I know in my heart that those are from my mother in law. So I guess what I am asking is does anyone have any creative ideas for helping my son know his grandma jenny?

well I have lost both my parents my mom when i was 22 and my dad when i was 24 ( im 27 now) and it was rough especially being pregnant and not having my mom to turn to. Luckily I have a great mom and dad inlaw that spoil my 2 year old rotten. but i just show my daughter pictures of my parents every night and tell her that they are watching over her everyday.. I think shes still to young to comprehend just what I mean and I will explain better as she gets older. My parents would have loved her soo much.. i remember the day i graduated HS and my mom told me "now i cant wait for u to give me grandchildren" to tell you the truth i dont think my daughter will ever truly understand that. So definately keep reminding your son about his grandma jenny.You can also point out the little things I know it helps me when i see a butterfly when Im feeling down or i get a whif of my moms cooking or even just a simple breeze

Hi Ladies; Fortunally, I have both of my parent. I am an only child and when our daughter was (exactaly) two months old, my Dad was diganosed with cancer. Stage 4!!!  After the worse summer of driving him to and from cemo, radiation each and ever day, he is now cancer free!!! Thank god. I am a true believer in that everything happens for a reson; she was his inspiration throught it all.  Unfortunally though, my husband has lost both parents. Dad when he was 16 and mom when he was 21 (he is now 31). Pictures are far and few, but I like the advice about reminding the children who they are. I know I would never want my daughter not to knw my parents so you two have inspired me to contact my sister-in-law to find her some photos of her other grandparents.

My father in law passed away in Dec. My son is two and he asks for him sometimes but I don't think he understands. I was eight months pregant with our daughter when he passed away. We have pictures of him all over the house and my son will walk up to one and say hi pa pa. 

Thank you so much for the advice. I decided to make a small scrapbook with pictures of his grandma Jenny in them so he can take it out and look at them.

I lost my father in 2004 and had my son in 2007.  I want him to know his grandfather so I will show him pics and saw that he is up in heaven watching over us.
