I don't usually post twice in a day but I will today. But off the normal subject. I want to take this opportunity to thank a few very sweet, very important people!
In October '12, I decided to make a Twitter account in memory of my daughter, Kaylea, who you've read about. On this Twitter, I tweet mainly about stillbirth trying to spread awareness. In the process of this, I've made a few very important ladies that I want to recognize right now!
Emma Cook, who lost her precious angel as a result of Potters Syndrome. Emma is very sweet and she did not deserve to loose her baby girl, Charlie! She's ALWAYS there when you need her. Ready to talk and always asks how you are doing. She always sends hugs your way if you're having a bad day! I wish so badly that I lived close to her so I could meet her in person! Emma, I'm feel so honored to have met you! Thank you for always being there!
Sheila Wilson, who lost her angel, Jamie, because of miscarriage. She is very selfless and is ALWAYS there when you need a friend! She is a very strong and brave woman who endured pain but is making it through! She checks on me if I haven't been around for a while which shows she truly cares! Sheila, thank you so much for your kindness and thoughtful words!
Gale Fitts, who endured TWO stillbirths, a son, James and a daughter, Reita. She is the epitome of strength and bravery as she had no support while going through the horrible pain that is stillbirth! She is a true testament that you can make it through these tragedies, with or without help! This only made her stronger! She's always chipper and upbeat and there when you need her! Gale, thank you for your support and showing us we are not alone and that we can survive this tragedy!
We are all the face of stillbirth and miscarriage. We're all 1 in 4. But as so many people have shown us, WE ARE NOT ALONE!! We all have one thing in common: we have angels in Heaven! And we can get through it together by supporting one another, no matter the distance between us! That's what these three special ladies have proven! There are many more who are wonderful. And just because I didn't mention your name doesn't mean I don't care! I'm thankful for each and every woman and a few men, who has helped me! Together, we are breaking the silence and letting it be know that our angels count too!!
Thank you, each and every one, for being there, not only for me, but for each other, each parent who has an angel waiting in Heaven!
I have tears in my eyes as i write this to you. Thank you for the kind words. As for you Toni, I am so glad you have come into my life. I am so sorry for YOUR loss of Kaylea. You have helped to change me and for the better. Look at what Kaylea is doing through you!!! Hubby and I drove SIX hours yesterday to visit our baby James and Reita Gale! Was a special time. MAJOR HUGS!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! I'm just speaking the truth!! I'm so amazed by you and the strength you have! You are living proof that it's possible to get through the loss of a baby! It's because of Kaylea, James and Reita that I found you and discovered strength and bravery I didn't know existed! Much love and BIG HUGS to you, Gale!!
