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.
Tomorrow I will be at an event with charity:water and was reminded of Louie’s well. As I step out to light a candle, I always imagine the wave of light that walks across the world connecting us all. Even in our darkest moments, we wanted his life and memory to be honored with hope and meaning. We hope to make him proud with the life we live on earth.
These days, I’m delighted that there continue to be more moments of joy than sadness and do not take this for granted. Our family of “all girls” as we hear so often is filled with loudness, laughter, fights, whining, and squeals. While it can be a bit cacophonous in our home, I know that it’s better than the silence.
Louie, you are ever present in our family. We miss you every day.
Wishing peace and love to those who have experienced loss and grief (in many forms) these last few years. You are not alone and we are all connected. For those who have your loved ones around, please give them a hug. And for those who have lost loved ones, we are here to carry on your love.
