thinking of you. came across this and that of your family and sweet baby girl ( poem for asher):

People notice
There's a special glow around you.

You grow
Surrounded by love,
Never doubting you are wanted;
Only look at the pride and joy
In your mother and father's eyes.

And if sometimes
Between the smiles
There's a trace of tears,
One day
You'll understand.

You'll understand
There was once another child
A different child
Who was in their hopes and dreams.

That child will never outgrow the baby clothes
That child will never keep them up at night
In fact, that child will never be any trouble at all.

Except sometimes, in a silent moment,
When mother and father miss so much
That different child.

May hope and love wrap you warmly
And may you learn the lesson forever
How infinitely precious
How infinitely fragile
Is this life on earth.

One day, as a young man or woman
You may see another mother's tears
Another father's silent grief
Then you, and you alone
Will understand
And offer the greatest comfort.

When all hope seems lost,
You will tell them
With great compassion,
"I know how you feel.
I'm only here
Because my mother tried again.

i'm happy there is an official day to remember your jorai mae and i think the day needs to be more recognized nationwide. this is the first i've read of it and it makes so much sense. so many other cultures acknowledge the passing of infants in utero, and i think that here, people get too uncomfortable to address it as it should be. i think about your little jorai all the time and think about how strong you are and how wonderful you make sure her sweet memory lives on forever. and also how lucky asher is you're his mommy!
what a beautiful poem your friend posted above.

Oh, Kim.
For all the joy and pain of the last 2 years... praying.
Asher is one blessed little man - the love you and Steve have for him is so boundless. It will probably always be colored by Jorai - but what a beautiful color it is.
I wasn't pregnant long before I miscarried, and it often slips my mind... but maybe our little angel babes are playing together right now (like Asher and Hazel were yesterday)
((hug))
