"A miscarriage is a natural and common event. All told, probably more women have lost a child from this world than haven't. Most don't mention it, and they go on from day to day as if it hadn't happened, so people imagine a woman in this situation never really knew or loved what she had.
But ask her sometime: how old would your child be now? And she'll know."
~ Barbara Kingsolver (Animal Dreams)
Do you remember? I do - 3 years & 4 months, 3 years & 1 month, and 2 years & 4 months.

I remember all three of mine. It's especially hard when you know someone who gave birth to a child right when you should have. It's a forever reminder of how old your child would be.
Hugs!
What a beautiful thought.
Children are always alive for their mothers.
Hugs, Kekis.
