86 Months

Last night we lit our candle for Lola for the wave light and also for all the angels that got their wings too soon. I literally sat and said out loud all the names of the babies or moms that this candle represented. The pain is real. My candle is now 7 years old...

I choose to participate in a project called capture your grief.for the month of October.  Each day representing a different emotion or journey with Lola. There have been lots more tears while revisiting these memories but the response from others has been amazing and in a way rewarding. I don't feel as I am living with a secret, it's really all out there. Death and loss is uncomfortable topic but Lola is beautiful, her story is heart breaking but  maybe she really is making an impact on the world. I hope someone reads it and feels they are not alone in their grief. I hope someone reads it and smiles. I hope someone reads it and asks about the test they can have during their pregnancy that could save their babies life. I hope someone reads it and realizes they can breathe again and honor their loved one. I hope someone reads it and has found a penny that made them think of Lola.

She really was a gorgeous little girl, she will never leave my soul and I promise to keep telling her story. Forever in our hearts, Lola Grace.

Love- The Mother often Angel
