As you all know, I am Mamie's mom, and Mamie was my first child. I was pregnant with her from October 2008 to June 25th, 2009 when she was born a sleeping angel (stillborn) two and a half weeks before her due date. Stillbirth and infant death are realities that too many parents face even today. Did you know that each year 1 in 115 babies delivered is stillborn? And 1 in every 102 newborns die before the age of 28 days old? Now, a year after losing Mamie, I have started Mamie's Poppy Plates, my organization providing keepsakes for parents who are not able to take their babies home from the hospital. Because handprints and footprints are something that we cherish as parents of children in Heaven or here on this earth, I wanted to find a beautiful way to preserve such a precious reminder of our babies. Your donation of $13 will provide a plate to bereaved families who are delivering at St. Vincent Hospital. Their baby’s birth stats, hand and footprints will be stampe...
Beautiful pics as always :)
ReplyDeleteI'm saying this in a kind way, I'm a HUGE animal lover and animal rescuer...it scares me so much when I see a collarless dog or a dog without a tag. Even if he has a chip, anything can happen. Especially around the 4th woth fireworks
*with. It makes me think of that horrible mike herdman story. If was not the same exactly but still so sad. Hope he has a collar on now. Such a beautiful dog. Have a great 4th.
