On Loss

For Maddox, River, Autumn, Mia, Calvin, and all the babes named and unnamed.

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss and Awareness Month

We honor those of you who 

bear that heavy burden of not 

seeing your child turn another year older 

hearing the sounds of their hearts beating in your ear

feeling the weight of their arms around you

smelling their sweet breath as they exhale

 We see you

Today I am remembering one of my greatest teachers, a little one who left this earth too soon. He had eyes that, even at six days old, let you see to the center of his being. He was surrounded by love.
