One crochet block a day. Every day. All year long. Proving, I hope, that it's not the destination, it's the journey.

October 15th
October 15th is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, which I quietly celebrated yesterday. In addition to lighting a candle in my front window at 7:00pm, I crocheted a little bouquet of pink and blue flowers, one for each of the wee souls who slipped in and out of our lives without a sound.
I'm a mother in perpetual mourning. After two miscarriages, our precious son Thomas was born and died in March 2005 after just 20 hours. I struggled with secondary infertility during the ensuing two years and miscarried twins one day shy of 12 weeks in August 2007.
Having now wandered all the way into our 50s, we're officially a forever-childless couple. If you don't count the 5 we had but didn't get to keep.
