October 15th

National Pregnancy and Infant loss Remembrance Day

In the United States and Canada October 15th has been recognised as National Pregnancy and Infant loss Remembrance Day. This day allows family and friends, through a variety of remembrance ceremonies, to honour their babies who died. Many families will also be lighting candles in rememberance of older children who have died.

There is a candlelight vigil held today at 7pm throughout Canada and the United States.

If you would like to honor Noah in this way please light a candle for him tonight at 7pm or whenever you read this post.

We will be lighting a candle in honor of many... Noah, Anna, Liam, Kimberly, Neil, Dean, Jerry, Kenneth... we light a candle for you and so many others.

I will light my candle for Noah, for Anna, for Liam, for my own unnamed baby and for the many, many others. I remember you.

Thank you for sharing with us. I light a candle for Noah and all the other babies and children I knew that I can no longer hold in my arms but will always hold in my heart.

love Nana

I'll light a candle for Noah next time I'm at Mass (no candles where I am now).
