In an hour, it'll be Mother's Day. I want to wish all the mothers out there a very happy, peaceful mother's day- especially those mothers who are not always recognized as mothers. Your babies, regardless of how long they were in your life, will always be your babies. I encourage you to find a way to acknowledge them.
- Share your baby's story here (link).
- Find a project to take on in your baby's name.
- Contribute to a project already in progress.
- Make a donation to the Gideons International in memory of your baby, to have New Testaments distributed in his or her name.
- Put a memorial/statue in your flower garden in memory of your baby
- If you haven't done so yet, name your baby.
I know this post is getting long, but I'd like to share a list of projects and blogs other baby loss parents have started in order to share the legacy of their children. Feel free to add yours in the comments or let me know of any corrections that need to be made!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!
