4.9.10

The March of Dimes Walk for Babies is about a week away. I've been working on shirts and other items for the walk. But I wanted something with me that would represent the babies of the people that I've learned about since losing Lyra. So this is what I've come up with. 


I'm actually really nervous to post this because I don't want anyone to think I've purposefully left their child out. The stars have become my symbol for Lyra. Something for me to see and find comfort in at night, when it's sometimes the hardest. Unfortunately, I know the list could go on forever, but the stars on this represent all our children we don't get to have here with us, even if their name isn't listed.

  3. It's lovely and so thoughtful to think of all the other lost babies. Raising money for march of dimes is such a worthy cause!!! Thank you for all your efforts.

  4. Rachel,
    You are such an amazing person. Even though the most horrible tragedy brought us together, I am thankful to have as a friend. Thank you so much for thinking of Ethan. I am sure he and Lyra are up there looking down on us and smiling!

  5. Rachel,
    Once again you have honoured my baby Frost. Seeing his name in print is something I cherish. Thank you for giving us all such a wonderful gift. I bought Hadley a book on Constellations the other day and of course I found the Constellation of Lyra. I can see how the stars mean so much to you for your baby's name is written in them.

  8. Total sweetness. Thank you for thinking of my Sweet Claire. xo I too look to the stars for comfort.

    I have been trying to find out about the March of Dimes Walk for Babies in Canada... I can't seen to find anything. Gathering more info about the Walk will be one of my goals for the year. I have seen many Ladies through our BL Blogworld who are participating and I think it is fabulous!!

    I look forward to reading and hopefully seeing more about the walk... please keep us in the loop!

  11. I saw this earlier today and was so moved by it and touched to see Eva's name that I got a bit choked up and couldn't reply right away. Thank you ever so much.
