Near + Dear.

 It's a very special day for so many families. This is a day when families are able to bring awareness to the fact that they have lost a loved one very dear to them...They've had to endure a most sensitive pain, that of losing a child. When you lose a baby to miscarriage or infant loss, it is a pain like no other and often leaves mothers and fathers feeling alone in their grief. It is the loss of a future you thought you had to look forward to. It lasts a lifetime-- the wondering what would have been, who this little person would have been, and who you would become after knowing this person. Take a moment to share your story with someone that you know has recently lost a baby so that they know they are not alone.

It's been many years since I lost my baby, it was December 5th of 2008. I still remember it like it was yesterday. The intense pain has passed, but the sense of loss will always be there. Thomas Christopher will always be a part of our family.

Today, I'll be praying for you fellow mommies and friends.
