Penguins
My mom is sweet and thoughtful! Each year she goes to Liam's marker (I don't like calling it a 'grave' even though I know that is what it is) and she places a very well thought out item on his marker. She cries, grieves, and remembers her grandson, our son and how much he is loved and missed.
Each year she gets us one of the same items that she places on his marker. In Virginia my mom had gotten us a family of Penguins, a momma, a daddy, and a baby penguin to represent Izzy. This year she added another Penguin to represent Kylie and got a gold one to represent Liam. Now we have a whole family of Penguins to put out as part of my winter decor.

I love that he is remembered around our home in big and small ways.
It means so much that Liam is still alive in the hearts of our family, even if that means deep sorrow and sadness. He was our son but he was a grandson, a great-grandson, a nephew, a future friend.
