{and last day to be entered in the give-a-way – I’ll announce winners on Monday}

When Jason & I went to The Respite Retreat last February, we met 12 other parents that had also said good-bye to one {or two} of their children. We have put together a list of all of our children’s birthdays & their deathdays. It has been such a source of help to all of us to be able to remember these days with one another. To say our children’s names. To remember stories that were shared. The month of December is filled with several days we will remember. I will be praying for these families {and others that have had much loss}. One of the mother’s from our weekend, Terri, wrote recently that someone told her that we haven’t “lost our children – we know right where they are”…

…I love that.

What comfort that brings me.

To know where Lulu is today.

I will take time to praise God for what this month is really all about.

{It is almost His birthday – what are your plans to celebrate Him?}

What are your prayers & praises for today?

I praise you Lord for your peace that you have poured over our life.

And I pray that your peace will continue to reign in our life.

It IS well.

Thank you to my father & brothers & sisters-in-law who have served & are serving our country & our city.

I am proud of each of you!

Thank you to all our service people.

I am grateful to each of you.

I will continue to pray for you.

Tomorrow is “Infant Loss Remembrance Day”

 I will be remembering Mindy & Greyson, Aimee & Charlotte, Emily &  her boys, Lisa & Jaxton, Susan & Lily, Kim & Kristen, April & Seth, Angela & Mary Margaret, Nancy & Hope & Gabriel

And I will be lighting a candle for Lulu at 7:00 PM.

Is there someone you can remember and pray for tomorrow?
