Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day was thought of by Robyn Bear. After having had six miscarriage with little to no support, she felt a day was needed for parents, grandparents, siblings, friends, and the world to unite and remember these beloved babies. Knowing she couldn’t do this alone, she shared her thoughts with Lisa Brown and they decided to do what they could to make this day happen. H.CON.RES.222, House Resolution #222 Pregnancy and Inant Loss Remembrance Day, October 15th of every year went to vote in the House Of Representatives September 28th, 2006.
Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day is recognized with participants lighting candles at 7:00 p.m. around the world to honor and remember our children.
I think it has been about three years now. I purposely do not keep track of the date I lost my son. I was about five months along. He was unplanned but once it sunk in, and I felt him kick, he was already loved. We had just bought a new house to make room for him. The day before our new house inspection, I miscarried and gave birth to him. He was so tiny.
I remember him everyday but think of him few now. I have two beautiful daughters and know how lucky I am. I don’t dwell.
Yet, when I see things in movies or in the news such as the title of this post. I some times feel as though it was yesterday.
