In Her Memory, For Their Legacy | The Significance of June 4th

In Her Memory, For Their Legacy | The Significance of June 4th

On June 4th 2013 our daughter Shiloh Shalom Giles was born. She would be the only child I had ever given natural birth to and the only child we ever lost. For years I would try to find ways to honor her memory. At first it was too painful for me to think of doing something that would remind me of the loss of her every year but I wanted so deeply to do something meaningful to honor her. I never got that ornament I went back and forth with, I never bought the paper balloons I had planned one year to release on her birthday and I couldn't find a memorial stone for my flower bed that said the right words. Nothing felt right.

When I was starting the process of opening Victoria's Chest, I had this want to open our store on a specific day instead of a month. One day I was sitting in my living room realizing my dream I had when I was a little girls was about to come true and then Shiloh came to my mind. With tears in my eyes I knew in my heart the perfect day to open Victoria's Chest was her birthday. It is the perfect way to honor her memory and add more purpose to this store. I called my husband and told him and he was silent for a minute. It's never easy to talk about her not being with us. But he agreed it was the perfect thing to do. Our first collection was originally named "The Giving Collection" but after a few weeks of consideration I changed it to the "Shiloh Collection".

Through this collection we give to organizations that help women and children live abundantly at the end of each year. Our first customer purchased through the Shiloh Collection and my heart was flooded with praise to God! Giving back to women and babies in her memory is a humbling honor. She will be in my heart while I am running this store. My Children's stories and legacy will be why I do what I do with Victoria's Chest. It is because of them I am breathing, I am living. And I thank God everyday for my daughters and son here with me and my girl heaven.
