Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Day

Today is National Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Day!  Seems *odd* to some, I guess, that I (and many other angel parents) would be *excited* about this day, but I am!  It's a huge step forward to having our precious babies recognized and remembered! 

If EVERYone in EVERY time zone lights a candle at 7pm (their own time zone) and keeps it lit for atleast 1 hour, there will be a light burning around the world at all times in honor our angels lost.  Please, light a candle!  For your own loss, loss of a sibling/cousin/nephew/niece/grandchild, loss of your friends' baby...

In memory of our precious angel, Marissa Cheyenne.  You are NEVER forgotten...always in our hearts and minds.  Everytime I look at Brandon, I see you in him.  I know he is a peaceful soul because he has you forever with him.  We love you, and we'll see you on the other side!  Marissa Cheyenne, born Monday, January 31, 2005

You know that I will have the candle lit! You know how I feel about Marissa and I feel that she is a blessing to me and my family. She will always be remembered in our hearts.

OMG!!!!  I have been thinking how we seemed to have quite a few things in common.
We've both lost daughters. My little girl's  (not the one I lost) name is Cheyenne. And now I read that your little Marissa Cheyenne was born on January 31rst??
Wow! MY Cheyenne was born January 31, 1994!
This may seem silly, but I got goosebumps when I saw that.
