If you don’t know about the son that I lost, that means you haven’t been reading my blog posts, shame on you! My husband Ron and I lost our baby boy at 24 weeks pregnant in July. It’s been a long road to recovery and while we have healed immensely, we will always have a hole in our hearts and long for our son. I have learned so much about myself in these past 8 months, I have grown in ways I didn’t think possible. My son was such a blessing and I am grateful for the things I have learned as a result of his existence. Therefore, I want to honor him and I found the perfect way to do so and I am trying to harness the power of social media to support my efforts.
One of the most important things for us is to keep our son’s memory alive and honor him in any way we can. Ron and I have decided to participate in the March of Dimes walk in Chicago on the 26th of April. The mission of March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality, obviously something very close to our hearts. As Ron and I continue to heal, we want to be proactive in honoring our son with our family and friends and a donation to this organization would be the ultimate way to do so.
Your gift will support March of Dimes’ research and programs that help moms have full-term pregnancies and babies begin healthy lives. And it will be used to bring comfort and information to families with a baby in newborn intensive care.
