Blogtober: Day 15.

On October 15th of each year, families

gather around the World to honor their

tiny babies, who died during pregnancy

or anytime after birth. Candles are lit,

names are whispered, bridges and big

buildings are lit up. and tears are shed.

In the Big City down the road from our

cottage, I and my team are responsible

for booking the bridge each year. At

dusk, the colors of pink, blue and white

light up and remain lit, all night long. We

gather at the bridge to remember. I took

this shot of the sun setting. After a day

of light snow, it was a lovely sight ....

And then finally, the bridge was lit. The white

lights below it are the light rail transit going

across the river. It's underground for most of

the run but over the river, it's visible and loud!

Candles lit. Not all families who attended put

their candles here. With physical distancing,

some stayed back quite a bit and didn't come

forward to say their baby's names or ring the bell.

A warm glow of light, joining in with the World

in a Wave of Light at 7 pm everywhere. Love!

After we all said our heartfelt goodbyes, I

snapped this last shot before I drove home.

Back at the cottage, we gathered our bears and

lit our candles to remember and sweet, tiny babies.

Our Angel candle goes to every event that honors

baby loss in our community. I'm the "keeper" of

the candle and am always proud to light it thru

the year. This was a gift from one of our families.

Tonight, we lit our candles and remembered 

with great love, our eight precious babies ....
