October 15th...A Day to Remember...

Pregnancy and Infant Loss Rememberance Day...

Blessed by my beautiful boys..my rainbow baby...but never forgetting my angels..

A Different Child

People notice there's a special glow around you.

As you grow, surrounded by love,
Never doubting you are wanted;
Only look at the pride and joy
In your mother and father's eyes.

And if sometimes between the smiles,
There's a trace of tears,
One day you'll understand.

You'll understand there was once another child.
A different child who was in their hopes and dreams.

That child will never outgrow the baby clothes.
That child will never keep them up at night.
In fact, that child will never be any trouble at all.

Except sometimes, in a silent moment,
When mother and father miss so much that different child.
May hope and love wrap you warmly
And may you learn the lesson forever...

How infinitely precious.
How infinitely fragile.
Is this life on earth.
As you grow, surrounded by love,
Never doubting you are wanted;
Only look at the pride and joy
In your mother and father's eyes.

And if sometimes between the smiles,
There's a trace of tears,
One day you'll understand.

You'll understand there was once another child.
A different child who was in their hopes and dreams.

That child will never outgrow the baby clothes.
That child will never keep them up at night.
In fact, that child will never be any trouble at all.

Except sometimes, in a silent moment,
When mother and father miss so much that different child.
May hope and love wrap you warmly
And may you learn the lesson forever...

How infinitely precious.
How infinitely fragile.
Is this life on earth.
One day, as a young man or woman,
You may see another mother's tears,
another father's silent grief
Then you, and you alone,
will understand and offer the greatest comfort.

When all hope seems lost,
you will tell them with great compassion,

I know how you feel.
I'm only here

Because my mother tried again...

- Pandora MacMillan

Not a day goes by that I don't remember...Not a day goes by that I don't miss you...

Remembering my beautiful babies Gabriell and Méliange xox

I held you every day of your life...And will miss you every day of mine....

As Long As I Live...You Will Live

As Long As I Live...You Will Be Remembered

As Long As I Live...You Will Be Loved...

I see you changing before my eyes...

Everyday...something new...

Every new step...amazes me...

I could sit...watching you for hours...

I want to take it all in...

Every smile...Every laugh...Every sound...Every move...

I want to remember...

The way your eyes sparkle when we walk in the room...

The way you scream and wave your arms when you are excited...

The way you rub your eyes when you are tired...

The way you fall asleep holding your blanket...

The look in your eyes when you discover something new...

But I am afraid I will forget...forget the details...

Will I remember how tiny your hand is in mine...

Will I remember how we all gather around you trying to make you laugh...

Will I remember your giggles...your coos...

But even as you grow...as you change...

Never could I forget...

How you changed our world...

And made us smile once again...
