Jaclyn,

I am so sorry for your losses. I am so glad you blogged about this. People think miscarriages are different, but they are still a loss. Every night I send my hugs and kisses to heaven and they go up to all three of my angels, including Mel and Jo Jo my little angel babies I never got to meet.

Love,
Robin

I love your walk picture. Such precious reasons to walk...some painful and some joyful.

I usually try to avoid saying I "lost" Molly. I didn't misplace her. I know exactly where she was and is. Just one of my little quirks.

Hugs,
Mary

You're right, a loss is a loss no matter when it happens. You're also right in that we know exactly where our sweet little ones are.....

Miscarriages are losses, and no parent should be made to less as if they are any less. I know all your babies were wanted and are loved.

You know how I feel about rainbows and butterflies!

Jac,

I too have "lost" two precious babies to miscarriage, one later and only early. Like you said, a loss is a loss. I have come to realize over the last couple of years (thanks mostly to Share) that I had not mourned their loss. I got much of the same well meaning advice that you did, but never felt like I could mourn them. After all, I never really knew them. I don't really believe this, but this is how I thought I was supposed to feel. Anyway, I have thought a lot about my angels and I will also be walking in their memory this spring as well. Thanks for reminding us of our rainbows and butterflies. God bless,

Elizabeth

I'm glad that Share helped you realize that it's okay to mourn your "lost" babies. I'm glad you are walking for them AND for LG.

I can't think of better reasons to walk. Your family is priceless to me...and my heart aches for the losses you've endured.

XOXO

Jac-

I'm so sorry for the losses you experienced. You are so very right. A loss is a loss each so uniquely felt and so very very real.

Hugs,
Lauren

What a beautiful blog entry! And what wonderful reasons to participate in March for Babies. I have trouble distinguishing between prematurity and miscarriage. The technical line between them is so arbitrary, and in my heart I believe all life is life, whether weeks along or months, and each of those lives need to be honored. So anyway, I just really loved reading this entry.

Happy belated birthday to Mickey - love the photos of him in the attic! I hope everyone is doing well!
