Today October 15 is a very important day for many many people. Today is the National Day of Remembrance for pregnancy and infant loss. Today is a day to remember all babies who have died because of a miscarriage (at any week), stillbirths, SIDS, or any other infant death. (taken from Bring The Rain) http://www.october15th.com/
We all need to share this day with somebody that we know, you can blog about it or talk about with somebody this is very important and an important day for many people who have lost a baby.
nancy put this idea on her blog and I think it is a great idea and we should all do this to remember each baby that has been lost. ~Tonight at 7:00(your time) light a candle for 1 hour to honor all babies lost. This way there will be a continious "wave of light" to remember all our babies.~
So today please say an extra prayer for somebody you know who has lost a baby at any age, say a prayer for their baby and for the parents as well. It will mean a lot to each of us who have gone through this.

You don't know me. I found you through the blog chain. I am praying for you today.
Jen,
You don't know me, but I connected to your blog from reading another. I'm so sorry about your losses and I cannot imagine. I'm thinking of you today!
If you don't mind I would like to add you to my list of blogs I enjoy.
Thanks!
Hi Jen,
Another "you don't know me", but I read your post on Angie's blog and wanted you to know I prayed for you today.
I read your story today on Angie's site. You are very much in my prayers and I would love to talk with you more. God Bless you and your strength, I can't imagine. I will remember you in my prayers...
I just wanted to let you know that I prayed for you today just now in Texas.
I am praying for you sweet girl. I do not know you but I read your comment on Angie's blog and my heart breaks for your loss. I will be lifting you up! Sunshine
Jen, i'm so glad you read Bring the Rain.
she's a gifted blogger, and i think its awesome how we can all lean on each other and gain wisdom from the thoughts of complete internet strangers.
i'm praying for you today. (and many other days)
Dear Jen,
I just ready your heartbreaking story today on Angie's blog. I am praying and will continue to pray for you.
Praying for you today sweetie! (and myself too)
Jen, I found you on Angie's blog... and wanted to let you know that I am praying that God will encourage you with His presence as you somehow try to go on after such tragic losses!

You are in my prayers - in Utah - and will continue to be in my prayers. I'm another 'don't know me'. Your story of losses is incredibly touching to my heart. Thank you for sharing. I'm not sure how you manage each day, but you are a courageous woman. Families can be together forever and death is not the end. Bless your strength. As I read through your posts I just wanted to let you know (and I'm not sure you go back and check comments on older posts) I'll do you a favor tonight - from your post on September 9th. Thank you for reminding me. It is all to easy to become so wrapped up in the moment that important things pass you by. Thanks for everything!

it's about 7pm here. I'm going to go light my candle.
Jenny,
Remembering and praying for you today...and always. (((HUGS))

Yet another "you don't know me" in Texas. I shared of my loss on Angie's blog and then went back to read the others. I couldn't read past yours due to the tears.
My heart breaks for you and I am praying for you.

Wow. I'm very drawn to your story because I am in education, my husband and I are your age, and my husband was a football coach for years. I so could be in your shoes. I'm praying for you. May God's healing strength give you peace. I have a little side business and create custom announcements, websites, and blogs. If you ever want a makeover, I'd love to do one for you. Free of charge, of course!!

You are a person I have never met and I just cried for you when I read your comment on Angie's blog. Life in this world can be unbelievably cruel at times, but your story still took my breath away. I cannot even comprehend your losses but I lifted you up in prayer tonight. I hope that helps in some small way.
I just wanted to let you know that I am praying for you. I am so sorry for your losses. If you don't mind I would like to add you to my list of blogs/sites that I enjoy. (((HUGS)))
Jen,
I found your blog through Bring the Rain. I wanted to tell you how very sorry I am for all that you have lost and to let you know that I have added you to my "everyday" prayer list. May the Lord's peace fill you today and always.
Hi Jenny,
I found you through Angie Smith's blog. I am praying for you!
Praying for you...
Jen,
Oh, your losses are unfathomable to me, I'm so sorry, and I'll be lifting your name up in prayers. I'm so glad you've found that sweet puppy- to have someone to hold in your times of sorrow. I found your blog through "Bring the Rain" as well -
Another blog I read is "Our Lady, Star of the Sea". He is about your age and lost his wife at about the same time you lost Shawn - his wife died of a long battle with cancer. He is a profound, transparent writer and I have been very moved of his posts chronicling his journey in grieving.

Here's the link to that last blog I wrote about-
I am one of the ones who found you from your comment on Bring The Rain. You are amazing. I prayed for you and will continue to pray for you. And yes... I will now be following your blog ;) God bless!
Jen,
I also saw your comment on the Bring the Rain blog and wanted to let you know that I've now read through your blog and I'm so sorry for all you have gone through. I'm praying for you.
Hugs,
Susan
Jen,
I am so sorry for your losses. I cannot begin to imagine the pain you live each and everyday. My heart and prayers go out to you.
Take care of yourself,
Amanda
praying for you...
Praying for you, sweet girl. I found you through Bring the Rain and will continue to keep you in my prayers as your journey continues. Big hugs, Jen O.
Hi Jen, I'm so sorry for the loss you have faced in the last few weeks. I am in such awe of the strength you have shown! I also read bring the rain. That's how I found you. reading these blogs have helped me understand more the loss you can feel when faced with a miscarriage. I don't think you can even truly understand until you are faced with it.
I am praying for you!
Laura
Jen,
I just read your comment on Bring The Rain and wanted you to know I am not only praying for you today but here on out. I am crying for you...for both tragic losses.
If there is anything specific you would like prayed please let me know.
