ideas.
We're coming up on Avery, Trinity, and Langston's 1st birthday or rather anniversary of their death. Clearly I'm not going to work, I'm debating if I can even handle being Myle's mom that day.
I want to do something to remember them, but I don't have any ideas. Thoughts?

I think the balloons is a great idea. We were there with Tim and Shannon when they did they for Ryley's birthday.
Also? I think being Myles' mom is one of the best things you can do that day. Avery, Trinity and Langston wanted him to be yours, they'd want you to cuddle him, and snuggle him, and love him
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
This.
I third this. Spending the day spoiling him and telling him about his brother and sisters is a great way to spend the day. You could also plant a tree in their honor. I like the balloon idea. Also, I think someone mentioned it on one of your blogs, but you could have a book printed with their story to read to Myles as he grows up. I also think it's important if you get a chance that day to get some alone time to miss them. I'll be thinking of you all
All of this. Hugs coming your way.

I agree with everyone's ideas. Sending you lots of hugs to get through the day. Snuggle up with Myles and tell him how amazing the triplets are.
coming out of lurkdom...
Have you considered planting 3 trees/shrubs somewhere? It would then also give you a place to visit and just have you and them time...good for the environment (balloons aren't - birds can suffocate and fish/dolphins can get their fins stuck in the strings and plastic, etc) ... the trees would also be a meaningful picnic location throughout the year, and it would allow you to create new memories with Myle's and other future young'ins while including the older three.
I admire your strength and determination. you have really demonstrated both qualities over the years. (I'm a serious lurker...sorry if it is creepy!)
I agree with the ideas that have been presented and i have done afew in my daughters honor. She would have been 12 on the 15th of October. but my fav. memory that i have of her is a teddy bear a friend of mine made out of the blanket she was wrapped in at the hospital.
Also if you don't want a stuffed animal you can also make or have some one make you. a memory pillow or quilt out of fabric you have that has something to do with them. like a receiving blanket little outfits that kinda stuff. I made my son two memory pillows out of a couple of his mom's really old T-shirts, and his grandmother used some of Mary's (Jordan's birth mother) old cloths to make a big quilt with pockets so that everytime he goes down there he can get something from Mama's pockets.
All late on this, but I like the idea of planting the 3 trees in memory of them and the book.
Lots of hugs for you
I'll be thinking of you.

I agree with everyone else, and I love the idea of planting a tree. Take time for yourself to grieve, but also take time with Myles to tell him about his brother and sisters. Avery, Trinity, and Langston love their little brother, and want you to be happy being his Mom. It's ok to be sad and grieve for their loss, but you have so much to be hopeful about too.
We will all be thinking of you, your H, Myles, and the triplets on their anniversary.
