Adelle - Our Angel Baby

There are quite a few things I want to mention today but I think I might need to save some for another day.  I celebrated my birthday over the weekend and received two particularly wonderful "gifts".  I am sure you have heard the saying "ask and ye shall receive"... apparently this works even if you don't speak your desire out loud. 

It's funny how one thing leads to another.  More specifically how one person leads to another.  I met someone very special - through Facebook intervention - over the weekend.  I do not know her and have never met her in person but I feel grateful to have her in my life.  She lost her baby girl a year ago and was kind enough to share her story with me and open her heart to my questions and thoughts.  It brought back many emotions (for both of us) and spending a Saturday night crying might not seem like a good way to spend a Saturday at all... but it was important to pave the road to a place of healing.  I must remind you that I am very very grateful for the support of my family and friends.  However, it is so nice to speak with someone who has been through the same ordeal and who understands (what might seem like) crazy thoughts I have or had.  She is also bringing me towards other moms who have lived through this traumatic experience and I have learned recently that you can never have too many friends.

On the same wavelength it has become particularly important to me that this blog reaches more moms and dads who have lost a baby.  As if my wishes were delivered to sister-in-law Sylvie by a wispering Angel, she sent me a message yesterday with ideas on how to market my blog to others.  This may not seem like a big deal to anyone but after my "ah ha" moment this weekend, this is another very important stepping stone to keeping Adelle's life and presence a very positive one.  She changed our lives and our world and I want to help other parents who's babies have done the same.
