Dear friends and family,
It’s that time of year again. The Wave of Light is a tradition for our family to remember Louie and other little ones who are no longer with us. October 15 is infant & pregnancy loss remembrance day and observed through the international wave of light. We invite you to light a candle tomorrow (or send "light" thoughts/prayers) from 7pm-8pm in your local time zone.
We welcomed Tori to our home this year. I had truthfully hoped to have another son, but she made her very own plans. She was born with a full head of hair, just like her big brother. In these early days, I'm acutely aware of what we missed out on with Louie. I can't imagine him as a big kid, but I always remember him as a baby. We continue to feel lucky to have children who are growing and we can continue to hug each day.
With “all girls” (at home), we try to weave Louie’s life and death into our everyday life as we wait on a heavenly reunion. Lexi now regularly makes drawings for her brother and talks about him to her classmates.
The girls are also really into tattoos these days, so I found some old temporary ones from when I was deciding on a permanent tattoo for myself. It was lovely to remember him together.
