Today is pregnancy and infant loss remembrance day. We miss
our Mamie so much and will always remember her. I just wanted
everyone out there who has gone through this horrible pain of losing a
baby to know that I am praying for you extra hard today. I am so
thankful to all of you that have reached out to me with your words of
encouragement. Hearing from those of you that know exactly what I am
going through has really helped. Your strength has given me
strength. I know God has great things planned for Taylor and I.
Everyone huge your sweet ones tight today and remember the sweet ones
so many have lost.

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...
Thinking of you today and every day Miss Mamie!! Loving you always Adams family!!

Dear Sarah, I've just read through your entire blog and my heart is breaking. Mamie will never be forgotten, but the sun will shine in your hearts again. God bless you and your husband. My thoughts and prayers are with you always.
ReplyDeleteI went shopping for pink flowers today and thought about Mamie and her beautiful garden. Hugs and good thoughts for you and Taylor.
