Wave of Light.

Tonight at 7:00 pm all over the globe,

families who have experienced the loss

of a precious baby or a sweet child, at

any age, for any reason, gather to share

their stories, and their love for those

who understand and share the journey.

Each year, since 1998, we have been

so fortunate to have our local funeral

home open their doors to our program

and our families. Our service is in the

afternoon so families don't have to

worry about traveling out to our tiny

hamlet in the dark. In the evening, we

all post photos of our candles from the

service, in memory of our angels,

as families Worldwide participate in

the Wave of Light for 24 hours. It's a

beautiful evening, and there is so much

comfort in knowing we're supporting

each other. But we also always wish

events like this would never have to

be in place. Heartbreaking but needed.

Tonight, with love, our family remembered:

Bretton~Elijah Lucas Roberts

Ciara~Rose Kennedi Roberts

Birkley~Finn Kensington Roberts

Cabriola~Ireland Laci Roberts

Cambria~Sage Kassady Roberts

Beau~Harper Levi Roberts

Cree~Raven Lyric Roberts

Bentley~River Kai Roberts

Never forgotten. Love forever!

Blogtober: Day 15.

Today is International Pregnancy and Infant Loss

Awareness Day. With families around the World,

we will pause to honor and remember all of our

tiny and precious babies who all have died at birth:

This is a very special day as we are all encouraged

 to light a candle @ 7:00 pm in memory of our

baby(ies). In our community, the big bridge will

also be illuminated in pink, blue and white from

dusk until dawn. A truly beautiful "Wave of Light"

from Earth to Heaven. Heartbreaking but also so

heartwarming as we show our love in a very public

way. Magical and breathtaking. But oh so sad ....

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 ....
