Wave Of Light to Remember Our Babies

I am actually very excited about today. Even though I am having transmission issues with my truck and I may have injured my rotator cuff it is still a good day. But that is a whole other post. From my point of view the worst thing that could happen is Ryan being forgotten. He was born, he lived, he breathed, he IS a part of our family. I hope days like this help people understand that for the most part people want to talk about their angels. Prenatal and Neonatal loss is nothing less than tragic. Parents shouldn't bury their child. It is just not the natural flow of things. But you pick yourself up by the boot straps and you carry on. I am very lucky that I have the support that I do in my life. I have Doug, my family and my "sisters". I am especially grateful for Teri Lyn. Of my "sisters" she is unfortunately the only one that completely understands how I feel. I say unfortunately because who wants to be a member of this club. Who would have thought all those years ago when we met we would be here. I pray for peace for those dealing with their losses and I ask those that are not to pray for those of us that are dealing with those loses.

I invite everyone to light a candle tonight at 7 pm not matter your time zone. If everyone lights a candle and burns it for at least an hour there will be a continuous WAVE OF LIGHT.

Peace to everyone,
Raye

October 15th - Remembering Our Babies

In 1988 President Reagan signed proclamation declaring October Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. In 2001 the House of Representatives signed a similar proclamation and from 2001-2006 many states followed. Texas is included in those states. Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day. So tonight at 7pm Doug and I will light a candle and remember Ryan and Parker. Not that we don't think about Ryan every day of our lives but there is some comfort knowing possibly a group around the world will be doing the same thing. So if you think about stop and say a little prayer of remembrance for Ryan and for those that knew him little Parker. And you might want to throw in their Mom and Dad too help us out a little. If you would like additional information on this check out www.october15th.com. This whole thing was spearheaded by a parent who wanted the world to understand the facts.
Much Love,
Raye
