A tiny little angel
bid a silent sweet goodbye
to a sad and weeping mother,
then flew off to heaven’s sky.
When a spirit child is perfect
there’s no need for them to stay.
They come and choose a family
then go quickly on their way.
The trials and pain of earth life
are not theirs to endure.
God knows these precious little ones
are much too good and pure.
But while here, a bond is made.
Closer than any other.
One of everlasting love
between the child and mother.
I’m the mother of an angel.
who is watching over me.
How I wish you could have stayed,
but it’s not meant to be.
For a time, my little angel,
you and I will be apart,
but until I hold you in my arms,
I’ll hold you in my heart.

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.

October 15 is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Remembrance Day.
Wave of Light: On this day, those who have experienced the loss of a baby are encouraged to light a candle of remembrance at 7 pm. When participants in each time zone light a candle at 7 pm and keep it burning for an hour, it creates a continuous “wave of light” around the world. On Friday, local support groups, No Footprint Too Small, and Connected Forever, held group lighting events. Those unable to attend in person participated by lighting their own candles at home, or by joining one of the Facebook Live events.

The Gift of Life
Araya’s heart valves and tissue were donated to give life to another baby in need.
