This subject is a sensitive one for me. As I am sure is the case for anyone who has ever lost a baby.
For those of you who have no idea what a rainbow baby is, let me bring you up to speed. A Rainbow Baby is the birth of a baby that comes after the miscarriage, stillbirth or loss of an infant from natural causes. I have had to say goodbye to a child before I even got to meet that child, and I have a rainbow baby. And in February next year we will welcome our second Rainbow Baby. So today my heart breaks and rejoices all at once. I will always long to hold the baby I did not get to. I wonder who he or she would be today. But then I rejoice and trust in God. I celebrate my sweet and chaotic four year old little boy, the baby I get to hold and sing to. Today I remember that it is a day for me to look back and thank god for this precious gift he has trusted me with. The one that will join our family.
So today is a day of remembrance, and joyous celebration. To remind ourselves that we have a precious angel above us and ones here with us! Tonight as you Kiss your babies goodnight hold them tight and say a prayer for the babies that came before.
I have a rainbow baby. He is 8 years old now! It is such a difficult thing to think about for too long. I can't imagine being without my rainbow baby son, but I miss and long for the one that waits for me in Heaven. And thinking about the fact that if I had that baby with me, I wouldn't have my son. It still makes me teary-eyed to this day.
ReplyDeleteThis is really a nice article to share. Thanks for this girl.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful article. It's a day that's full of so many conflicting emotions for many - grief from those that they have lost and happiness/joy in the blessings that they have in their lives now. I think it's so important to recognize that ALL those feelings are valid and real, and it's totally okay to feel whatever emotions you personally feel in relation to it!
