International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day

In honour of International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day, Oct. 15th. I am posting this amazing song. … I will warn you…today’s post will likely be one that you need the Kleenex for….

STILL
music & lyrics: Gerrit Hofsink

I've been waiting for you
For such a long time
You're always on my mind

And I'm lying awake
Most of the night
Waiting to hold you tight

Now that I do
And look at you
My heart is breaking
This can't be true

Chorus:
Lost you before I found you
Gone before you came
But I love you just the same
Missed you before I met you
On earth we never can
But in heaven we'll meet again

Close to my soul
Close to my heart
Right from the start

Lost in time
Lost in space
Can't wait to see your face

Now that I do
And look at you
My heart is breaking
I know it's true

Lost you before I found you
Gone before you came
But I love you just the same
Missed you before I met you
On earth we never can
But in heaven we'll meet again

Sometimes I find myself wondering what to do
With this pain that I’m going through
But I know one day, God will take me away
And I’m coming home to you

And when I do
And look at you
My heart is healing
I know it’s true

Lost you before I found you
Gone before you came
But I love you just the same
Missed you before I met you
On earth we never can
But in heaven we'll meet again

In Heaven we’ll meet again.

I ask that today you light a candle and participate in the international wave of light campaign to remember all babies lost in pregnancy through miscarriage or stillbirth or the loss of infants at or just after birth. I ask you to light this candle in memory of Cole. We miss him so much each day…but especially today when it’s a day to remember these special angels.
I love this song, I love the message it leaves. I am feeling so lost today, I miss Cole so much. I know that I will see his face again, really, I guess I see it each day.
Oh Cole… I am so lucky to know what you look like wee one but sometimes I think that just makes it that much harder. I lost you before you ever had a moment to take your first breath but you have given me so many moments that have taken my breath away. We did not meet on earth, I did not see your eyes wide open, your mouth smiling, I did not smell your sweet baby smell or touch your soft baby skin. My heart was broken when I learned you had left us before you we found you. But you are with me always and I know that you are waiting for me at Heaven’s Gate…I will be there and we will be together again. I will love you just the same as I love all of your brothers. For now I hold your brothers near and dear and pray that you will watch over us all and guide us through life till we all meet again.
