Annual Parent Care Christmas Service...



Once again we joined the members of our miscarriage support group for an evening of reflection. Its such a simple yet special service and it reminds us that we are not alone. It was wonderful to see everyone and to take a little time to think about our three little angels.

Your Christmas is Most Like: A Very Brady Christmas

For you, it's all about sharing times with family. Even if you all get a bit cheesy at times.

You Are Dancer

Carefree and fun, you always find reasons to do a happy dance. Why You're Naughty: That dark stint you had as Santa's private dancer. Why You're Nice: You're friendly. Very friendly.

Made a Lemon Meringue pie tonight.....



... and now here I am wishing Virginia was here to share a piece with me and have a cup of tea. Just as when we lost mom and dad I think of her at the sillest times and wish she were still here. I actually got teary as I was making up the meringue with the beaters that were hers... and laughing that the damn stuff was actually working as it should. I think it was her looking over my shoulder from heaven coaxing it along :) I think of her often s I am cooking a meal... getting just the right amount of butter to fry the pork cutlets in, just enough water not milk to make super fluffy scrambled eggs and omlettes, eating super crusty buns with a cup of tea. Such simple memories to some and yet so meaningful to me. I don't think I ever told her enough how much I loved her though part of me knows that she knows. So I shall go have my piece of pie and maybe shed a tear or two for this amazing woman who I so wish could still be with us :(

You Are Apple Cider

Smooth and comforting. But downright nasty when cold.

What Part of Fall Are You?

Walk to Remember....

Today was Edmontons first Walk to Remember to support all the families who have lost a baby to miscarriage, stillbirths, early infant death or SIDS. It was a very meaningful and touching day. About 350 people showed up to walk today and its sad to think that we all have a bond with each other that none of us really wants and yet it is special to have that bond and to know we are not alone in our journeys.

The walk was held at the leg grounds and was followed by a balloon release. I loved the balloon release... each little life lost was named and the family would release the balloon in that moment... very powerful. Along part of the walking path the name ofevery baby being remembered at todays walk was written.... it was quite the site.

Here are a few pictures from the day. Jay found three different spots that held three things... maybe it was meant to be a sign to us to let us know that our angels are together :)

The walking path with the names and our angels.....

The balloon release. Peanuts balloon got stuck.....

Jays sets of three

And just one of us :)

Its been just over a month....

since we all said good-bye to Virginia... and she sure has been on my mind.

I see her picture in my living room smiling looking for full of life and happiness. I wish she was here with us still. I wish that the good byes never had to come. I was jumping around random myspace pages this morning and found this song and thought I would share it with you all. The lyrics are so pretty! And are so true. .. I love you Virginia and you will Never be Forgotten

"Never Be Forgotten"

Jessica Andrews

I’ll always see your face

The corner of your smile

And all the little things that no one will ever know

Like it was yesterday, won’t ever fade away

Goodbye is just a word that I will never say

You will never be forgotten

A million days could pass us by

But what is time but just a dream

Oh I still feel you here with me

You’re more than a memory

Oh you will never be forgotten

I can‘t hold your hand

Or look into your eyes

And when I talk to you

It just echoes in my mind

But If hearts are made of dust

And if we fell from the stars

I look up tonight and know just where you are

You will never be forgotten

A million days could pass us by

But what is time but just a dream

Oh I still feel you here with me

You’re more than a memory

Oh you will never be forgotten

And the world just keeps on going

It has no way of knowing

That you’re gone

You will never be forgotten

A million days could pass us by

But what is time but just a dream

Oh I still feel you here with me

You’re more than a memory

Oh you will never be forgotten

Happy 1st Birthday Wiggle Worm!

Two Years....

A Part Of Me
As I sit and remember

When you were still a part of me

I try to forget...

Your life was never meant to be.

You were given a life, a soul, a name

But now things will never be the same.

You were mine to give life to

Though only for a while

Things had changed...

I will never see your smile.

Yet my love for you

Will never disappear

Though your voice, your laugh,

I will never get to hear.

You will always be my baby

Though I've never seen your face.

Not a thing in this world

Can ever take your place.
