Wave of Light 2016

Dear friends and family, 
It's that time of year again. In remembrance of our beloved Louie, we're inviting you to light a candle (or send "light" thoughts/prayers) from 7pm-8pm in your local time zone.  October 15 is infant & pregnancy loss remembrance day and observed through the international wave of light.  

It's hard to believe that this will be our 3rd Wave of Light since the darkest days of Mar 2014.  We have met many more parents along the way who are also forced on this journey of grief and loss. While we are no longer in the early, raw days, we are grateful that you continue to walk with us.  Death is an awkward and lonely experience and yet we know there are so many who surround us. 

As some of you who might know, Louie's "spirit animal" is the lobster. It came from his nickname in utero. Little did we know that we'd hold on to every little memory (even the ones that were supposed to be temporary).  

Here's Alexis holding her little lobster in honor of big brother.  Thanks for remembering our little guy with us tomorrow.  We miss him every day.
