I didn't even know that this was a special day. There are so many different little "holidays" - it's hard to keep up with them all.

You're such a sweet person!

Neato! I didn't realize WordPress even had free blogs! I'll bookmark your blog for sure!

Ooooh, I see.

See ya' later!

So sad to think about all the little lives that didn't quite make it into the world.

I lost a baby two weeks before he was born. August 31, 1979. The doctor was on me constantly about my weight so I cut back to the point that I was barely eating at all. He told me I must be cheating on the diet sheet he had given me but I wasn't. I was only eating a quarter of what I was allowed. His name was Matthew and he starved to death. The doctor apologized, said he realized afterwards that I was telling the truth about what I was eating. Fortunately, the doctor quit practicing then. I was pregnant with Aaron after that and I gained so much weight!!! I ended up at 158 pounds! Aaron was 10 pounds and really healthy. I think the most natural way is the best. If you're hungry and pregnant - EAT!!!

Nice to know that there is a special day for such babies.

I never knew about this event and it's hard to imagine what the families go through when something like this happens Thanks for doing this touching post for all who will see this and be comforted

Hi Sarah,

Thanks for this post.

I lost my child at 18 months. He was suppose to pass away at 2 weeks, but he was the youngest on the East Coast to receive a heart transplant and he lived for 18 months.

Those were the best 18 months of my life. The date of his anniverary is this month on the 23rd so this is a bad month for me.

I also had several miscarriages before him. Not to mention I almost lost him late in my pregnancy. I was put on bedrest at 7 months and he still came almost 3 weeks early.

So thank you for this post. I will certainly light a candle for all the mothers. I have the poem If tears could build a stairway.... on a stone for my garden. I love to look at it everyday. I have an angel sitting beside it.

been there...

Yay! You're back!


I'm so sorry for all you've been through, Christy.

Thanks Oct. is a very rough month for me and my health is failing, but I am trying to be happy.

Sorry wickedlizard for your loss as well (I can't remember names today, it is one of my bad days).

Everyone have a great day.

You have a great day as well, Christy! I wish you nothing but the very best!

Thank you Sarah.

thank you Sarah...

Izzie (if I have that correct, if I don't sorry), have you stopped by my site and seen my first video I made of my son. His anniversary was yesterday. Tough day for me. Oct. is always a tough month. For us all.

Thank you,

I really appreciate it. It was my first video and I really wanted to have it done by the 23rd. So I am glad that it all worked out.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hope you had a nice day yesterday.

I saw your video... I really feel for you sweety...

I never got a chance to meet mine. They were three...

I am so sorry Issy,

I also had two miscarriages before Jason. I don't know how far along yours were. Jason was only suppose to live for 2 weeks. I was lucky he lasted that 3rd week so he could get a transplant. I am also lucky that he lived for 18 months. I was put on bedrest at 7 months with all 3 of my kids.

I had a wonderful old doctor who told me if I did not have a baby early, I would never have one and he was right. I had a complete hysto by 28. Very early indeed. I had nothing but trouble with the pregnancies bleeding and severe endomo.

I did not even think I was going to have any children.
My son was two when he choked on peanut butter (allergy) and I had to do CPR. And then he also stopped breathing at age 4 when he had this terrible virus that the doctors couldn't figure out what it was. It wa a virus in his system that caused him not to gain weight or height for a 1 1/2. He finally caught up to his peers in high school.

Even my daughter had weird problems with scarlet fever, sunburn so bad she was considered the lesser of the burns, but bad enough she was out of school for 3 weeks, and her chickenpox was so bad she still has scars and she ended up with (I forgot the name now but usually it is a disease that older people get once they have had chicken pox and it is very painful and it is all over your body). She also gets worse than flu every year (starts with pue- just can't spell that one)

I am hoping her immune system will get stronger as she gets older.

Shannon usually jokes that she will be out of school for at least a week or more every year. Well maybe this year will be different.

They unfortunately got their mother's immune system, which is not very strong at all.

I am, however, very lucky to have them.

Again, I am sorry for your losses, Issy.

thanks both of you...

You are so welcome, Issy.

I believe our children are watching over us and are our angels. One day we will meet again.

for sure...

I know we will.
