some days are harder than others

Unable are the loved to die.  For love is immortality.  ~Emily Dickinson

There are things that we don't want to happen but have to accept, things we don't want to know but have to learn, and people we can't live without but have to let go. ~Author Unknown

Love you friend.

A string to remember

October is designated as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.

I am privileged to volunteer for a wonderful organization called Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep which provides heirloom portraits to families faced with devastating news.

Please consider supporting this organization this month.

Thank you!

A day late

I just wanted to take the time to acknowledge a bittersweet birthday a day late - and for that I apologize.

I should have posted this and called her momma yesterday but I did not have a chance – and I hope you will forgive me for that and know that Tessa Grace and her family was on my mind.

My sister found these shoes at a thrift store for me the other day and sweet Tessa was the one I thought of when I saw them. Happy Birthday sweet girl you are missed and this picture is for you!

Tessa Grace is the daughter of a dear friend that was born still – she would have been 5 yesterday. She, and another friends daughter are the reason I volunteer for NILMDTS, which has changed me profoundly.

I hope you will all consider supporting this wonderful charity in any way your family can.
