We are a group, those of us who live in lost baby land, and those who care enough to walk with us. We stand, shrouded in silence, in sorrow, in grief. We stand together, holding lights to mark those who are not with us. Holding hands and hearts for comfort. And we give each other the gift of remembrance. We hold memory as a sacrament, a duty, a hallowed responsibility.
We lift our faces and our voices and we recite names and dates and memories.
We keep life that is gone from this world still alive in our hearts.
Katie and Carena and Ciara-Rose.
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
Revelations 21:4
