I didn't know... Until my friend Anne Sanborn shared how her grief and loss were linked to the day of October, 15. It's a Pregnancy and Infant loss Remembrance day. Everyone around who cherishes a memory of a baby lost is invited to burn a candle at 7 pm and keep it for at least an hour, all over the world. This way on this day a continuous wave of light will be spread all over the world. It reflects the light of love in our hearts for the babies who touched our lives.
The candle in my yard was lit that night in the memory of Peter Sanborn, who I'm sure was made as wonderfully as his younger siblings who are such a delight!
The candle light also reflected my love for baby Polina. I was so far from my close friend in Russia during the darkest days in August this year. Her first born daughter's heart stopped beating when she was only eight days old.
We will hold you in Heaven...
