A mom has taken to Facebook in hopes that someone has seen the precious elephant memento(纪念物) she lost during her family’s trip to Disney World.
In her post, Liz Atkinson described the missing item as an elephant toy with a small bag on his back. Inside the small bag was a smaller bag filled with her 7-year-old son’s ashes(骨灰). “Our son, Gabryel passed away before we could make it to Disney,” Liz explained. “For his birthday this year we took our surviving son, Sebastyan, on the trip. Gabryel was given this elephant in the NICU. He slept with it every night and since his passing my husband and I have had it in our bed with us. His name is Bruce.”
“The trip was a bit busy with 3 different cities and hotels and sad feelings came back at some point with all of the emotions, making me really struggle with simple memory tasks,” the post continued. Liz has specified some of the locations where she believes they may have lost track of Bruce the elephant. “Sebastyan is distraught and my husband and I feel ashamed,” the mom said. “I struggle with the idea of being a nurse and not being able to save my son — I’ve lost him and now I’ve lost some of his ashes… there’s no worse feeling for a mom.”
On the bright side, Liz’s Facebook post has been getting a lot of attention. She even said that some volunteers have been pinning (别上) photos of Bruce everywhere in the hopes that someone has seen him. “People I have never met have spent so much time helping — they’ve spent hours searching,” she said. “There are not enough ‘thank yous’ for everyone.”
