Well, this year, on May 4th, we've decided to participate in the March of Dimes. The March has changed its name this year to the March for Babies. This is to underscore the group's mission. They vow, with our help, "to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality." The miles we'll be walking will be in the names of our children and yours. We'll be walking on Earth with our perfect, wonderful daughter, Eleanor, this year. And, surely, our sweet Sophie Salome will be with us in our hearts and in spirit, as she travels with us always. This will be a lovely day to remember her, and to walk in the beauty outdoors. Sophie taught our little family a lesson to love each other fully and that change in our lives is truly possible. We don't talk about her as often as we'd like for so many reasons , but we will spend these few miles remembering, celebrating, and making sure that fewer familes each year feel the unimaginable pain of losing a child.
We'll be walking at 9 AM, so if you feel up to it, go for a lovely walk that morning. Spend time with your children, and let them know how much you love them. :o)
