I have been thinking of Ames lately, too.

I have faith that Ames is in Heaven and there are many millions of babies in Heaven due to loss, abortion, etc. I think Heaven is a nice place to be.

I love to light candles as well. Very peaceful, mournful kind of.

What a beautiful post. Thank you – I was lucky in that my tiny preemie lived (still tiny at eight, but thriving) – but your candle and words mark a moment for all of those whose pregnancies didn’t carry to term or whose babies were born but didn’t survive.

Thank you for sharing all you have with us in the last year. I’ve been reading daily for a little over a year and I am inspired by your ability to use humor to push your way through some of the most challenging days. Good thoughts and hugs as you remember Ames. I agree with pp that I truly believe Simone will always cherish thoughts of her brother.

It is so important to mark and remember the pivotal moments that we have been through. And you have been through a ton, all in the past year.

Thank you for sharing your remembrance around this day. It reminds us all to be humbled by the preciousness and precariousness of life.

Sometimes, it’s good to just stop to be “in the moment”. It allows you to remember, laugh, cry, wish it could have been different, or wonder how life would have been, and then move forward. I always say, “Today is better than yesterday and tomorrow will be better than today.” It just helps.

such a lovely candle. i couldn’t bring myself to mark the 15th this year, and sometimes feel guilty about that omission, but mostly not. stupidly, i had not considered that i could light a candle and have private moments at other times, too. thanks for the reminder.
