Light a candle

Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance  Day.

But isn't that every day for me?

Dear Conner and Ben,

The world creates a wave of light for all babies lost. We lit candles, this time with your sister. There is something mesmerizing about fire. It can spark life, it can kill. It can light up a room, it can burn it down. But the beauty of light draws us in. You boys are the light, the beauty, in my life. When life gets hard, I talk to you. I ask for your help. And I know you are with me, always. When life is at its happiest, I wish you were here. I talk to you. I ask you to be with us. And I know you are with me.

Your flame is eternal, your light shines everyday.

Love you to the moon and back,
Mommy
