Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remeberance Day

Today is the day set aside each year to remember our angles, gone too soon. On this day there is a world-wide wave of light as people all across the globe light a candle in remembrance at 7pm their time. Please light a candle at 7pm (your time) to remember our beautiful angel Hannah and all of the other precious souls who are no longer physically with us but forever in our hearts.
Hannah Avery lived inside my womb for 37 weeks and 4 days and I will cherish those weeks, days, minutes, seconds for the rest of my life. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of her, imagine taking her to dance class, think of what a great big sister she would be to Jackson. She is such an important part of our family and we are grateful for the time we had with her.
In the words of Elizabeth Edwards, "If you know someone who has lost a child, and you're afraid to mention them because you think you might make them sad by reminding them that they died--you're not reminding them. They didn't forget they died. What you're reminding them of is that you remembered that they lived, and...that is a great gift."
We love and miss you sweet Hannah Bear. We will carry you in our hearts forever.
