110 Months

Lighting our Lola candle on October 15th every year and participating in the Wave of Light is very special to our family. We only use our candle on two occasions each year, her birthday and participating in the candle lighting for every baby that has left us too soon. I can’t begin to imagine all the candles that were shining bright around the world. The mothers, fathers, siblings, grandparents, and friends who all share the bond of that loss. Lola may not have been with us for long but her existence and memory sure light up our hearts and minds, just like that candle flame. We put out her little white candle on my grandmother’s sparkling glass candle holder ( the one she would only take out of the China cabinet on special holidays or our Christmas cookie tea party) and we placed her beautiful picture right beside it. I think we took a moment to breathe and returned to our hustle.  A hour later, Milo blew it out with a little bit of a whistle.  The ending of another Wave of Light....

We love you Lola-

Love, 

The Mother of an Angel
