Always

I don't need a special day to think of our girls. It happens naturally, everyday. I think of them as I walk past their shadow boxes. I think of them when I see little girls around the ages they would have been. I think of them when I hear certain songs. I think of them when I learn of others who have lost. I think of them when I hold their little brother in my arms. I think of them for no apparent reason at all. They will forever be a part of my life. Everyday. Always. I am very grateful for a day that recognizes all of the little ones who have been lost to miscarriage, stillbirth or early infant loss.

On this day, I join other families around the world in lighting candles of remembrance. One for Finley Grace and another for her sister, Caroline Grace. Because this day is near and dear to my heart, there are additional candles to honor of the children of my dear friends who have suffered loss. There are so many... I will be in prayer for each of these familes today. Maybe you know someone who has lost a child or you have lost a child yourself. Feel free to honor them in a comment below if you would like. Or maybe just light a candle too...
