Day 30 of “Thirty posts in thirty days”...

Day 30 - a dream for the future 

I have a few!

I dream of a time when I can openly talk to anyone about Claire without making them feel uncomfortable.

I dream of a time when someone will ask me how many children I have and I can include Claire without feeling as though I have made the conversation awkward.

I dream of a time when I can wear my awareness ribbon and have others recognize what it is and why I and so many others wear it.

I dream of a time when we as Babyloss families don’t feel so alone because resources, support and education are readily available.

I dream of a time when outsiders can learn that all that needs to be said is a heartfelt, “I am sorry for your loss.”

I dream of a time when I dream of Claire.

Day 29 of “Thirty posts in thirty days”...

Day 29 - hopes, dreams, and plans for the next 365 days

I hope, dream and plan to continue to make Claire a present part of my family, friends and strangers lives.

I hope, dream and plan to organize a celebration in Yellowknife next year during October. It was a hope for this year but this first year without her was just too much to add anything else too.

I hope, dream and plan to continue speaking to my MLAs and the Minister of Health and Social Services in an attempt to have October 15th, Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, recognized at the local level as well as at the territorial level.

I hope, dream and plan to complete all of my Indelible Ice Images requests before the ice road closes this year. I know it is totally out of my control, it just broke my heart last year that some families did not get their picture(s) and are still waiting.

I hope, dream and plan to keep in contact with my BLM’s lives and to reach out to new families in need. Together as a community we keep one another strong in our most difficult days.

I hope, dream and plan to bring, Cinco, my rainbow babe home healthy and happy at the end of January.

I hope, dream and plan to make the most of every one of the next 365 days.

I hope...

to make fabulous memories for my kiddos.

I dream...

of dreaming of Claire.

I plan...

to continue to work on focusing on the positive

and letting go of the negative.
