Today, October 15th, marks pregnancy and infant loss remembrance day. This is a day that I was not aware of a year ago, but now- it will always be a day I remember.
Today- like each and every day- I think of my perfect baby boy..whose nose was mine, lips like his father.. whose precious life stopped at just 21 weeks gestation. I will always remember you my dear son. I miss you more than words can say and wish more than anything in the world that you were with us today.
Today, like most days, I think too of the many mothers out there who have endured the loss of a pregnancy or infant. My heart goes out to each and every one of you.
So tonight, I light a candle in honor of our babies. May they never be forgotten.
I am sorry for your loss. I have been struggling with recurring miscarriages. I didn't even know there was a Pregnancy and Infant Loss Rememberance Day. I feel awful that I missed it, but I am glad to know there is such a day. The loss of a baby is such an awful thing to deal with.
ReplyDeleteI found your blog on the miscarriage and still birth directory. I hope you don't mind me poking around.
Hi Emi- I am sorry that we have pregnancy loss in common. However, I am glad that you found me. I recently started to blog and just had it added to the directory in hopes of connecting with others who know what it's like.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your losses. Hang in there- you WILL have a baby to hold. Just yesterday I saw a friend who had four miscarriages in a row and now she has a baby who is a few months old.
I will visit your blog. Thank you for reaching out.
