You two are adoring and loving parents to your sweet angels. I do believe that they are with us and can feel how much love we have for them. We may not be parents in the ways we thought, but we are parents to their memory. I am so glad that they called you mom. You are a mother and a wonderful one at that. <3 Thank you so much for remembering Drew. It brings me peace to know that through all of us connecting maybe our baby's spirits have also connected or met in some way. Sending much love and support your way <3 <3 <3Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04601800346553703806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461328476931561706.post-71977175786868265002010-10-18T17:27:19.449-07:002010-10-18T17:27:19.449-07:00What a beautiful ceremony - I especially love that...What a beautiful ceremony - I especially love that they gave you a yellow rose for hope! I balled my eyes out at the Walk to Remember that we went to on the 10th - there were over 700 people there just in my small corner of the world. So much loss, so much pain. SO sad!

We were invited to ours at the hospital where she was born, but I just can't do it. Not yet. Maybe next year. <br /><br />Hugs, <br />KerryKAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18261499044344019218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461328476931561706.post-63573474804043598062010-10-18T10:09:11.652-07:002010-10-18T10:09:11.652-07:00This entry brought tears to my eyes, Rhiannon. The...This entry brought tears to my eyes, Rhiannon. There are just so many bereaved parents out there and so many lost babies, it's just heartbreaking. Our way of 'parenting', you described it so well. How true it is that we won't ever get to do the things normal parents would do for and with their children. And living with that fact brings this grief so much deeper, so much painful within us. Yet despite all these things, we continue living because that's the only thing we can do for them, that's the only way we can show we LOVE them so very dearly. <br /><br />I'm glad your hospital organized such a wonderful remembrance ceremony for all lost babies. It was truly a blessed way to remember and honor your beautiful daughter, Harper, and the precious little one you miscarried. I give kudos to your hospital for doing this. They are not afraid to acknowledge that death happens and that even babies die. Other hospitals just don't take the time because they'd like to think their facilities are where people get healed and get to live. <br /><br />Thank you for remembering Kai in this ceremony, too. And for thinking of all the baby lost moms and their babies. I love the poem at the end of your post. It's very comforting. Hold onto that yellow rose of hope, keep it and cherish it for Harper would want you to. Big hugs to you, sweet mama.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07278978595597146145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461328476931561706.post-34933803724007486062010-10-18T10:01:20.319-07:002010-10-18T10:01:20.319-07:00I have yet to attend any ceremonies like this, but...I have yet to attend any ceremonies like this, but it sounds like a beautiful way to honor our babies.

Each family being recognized as they brought their roses or roses up. And I LOVE that you were called Mom. You are a Mom and I am so happy that you were recognized as one.<br /><br />I can just imagine the feelings that swept through you as you saw Harper's name on the screen. The whole ceremony brings tears to my eyes. <br /><br />I love the poem you posted.Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12860497122946287983noreply@blogger.com
