National Day of Remembrance



October 15th-National Day of Remembrance. A day when we remember the loss so many families have had to endure. Miscarriage, Stillbirth, SIDS, Prematurity, Complications. The loss of a precious child. Please visit the site above, Bring the Rain, to join a heart warming prayer chain. What a beautiful reason.
As I stare into the little faces of of beautiful daughters, I take comfort knowing that the Lord has a plan for us. All of us. No matter how difficult that is to see, to feel, to understand, HE understands. I will never forget the path (or the hill to be exact)Matt and I took to be where we are today. We lost three pregnancies. Three babies we will never hold in our loving arms, yet hold so tightly within our hearts. I still feel the ache, I still cry and am filled with tears, especially on days like today. I do take comfort in knowing that my unborn babies are resting in the hands of the Lord. I do take pride in that the Lord chose me to be their Mommy. Even though at the time I was so filled with sorrow I could not understand it. I praise HIM everyday for the four Little Beauties I am so privileged to hold in my arms and within my heart everyday. I have found peace that He knew that Chloe, Jocelyn, Farrah and Silvie needed to be here with me to complete his mission for their lives. I trust that someday I will meet my unborn babies, all four of them, and they will embrace me as their mother. I am confident that all that I have endured makes me a better Mommy. It makes me a stronger woman. It lead me back into the arms of the Lord. Today, however, it is okay for me to think. It is okay for me to cry and for my heart to ache. Also a day to smile and know that my Little Angels are playing happily in Heaven. May the Lord bless ALL of my Little Beauties, both in Heaven and on Earth. May God bless all the Little Babies and the families that keep them within their arms and within their hearts. I remember your loss and I pray for you today.

Beautifully written.

You take what many women feel and put it into words perfectly. I am so sorry for your loss. I think you are correct that someday you will meet those gorgeous babies again.

Thank you for remembering this. I didn't. I have twin angels, Olivia & Elijah. They were born on 2/13/05 & passed away shortly after. You seem to be a wonderful mama. Thanks for remembering.
