"Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have - life itself." - Walter Anderson

Remembering Shepard
Today, October 15, 2014, Pregnancy and Infant Loss is nationally recognized. Estil and I participated in Scottsdale Healthcare's annual Walk to Remember for pregnancy and infant loss this past Saturday. It was beautiful, emotional and yet very peaceful. There was a very nice turnout filled with kids.
I am so grateful for the people who take the time to organize these events so that people like me have somewhere to turn to. These events give us a place to meet other people who have suffered like we have and honor our children together. This was my first event to publicly honor my son, Shepard. And while I knew it would be emotional I had know idea just how heartbreaking yet fulfilling it would be. Thank you to all of you who dedicate your time to help honor our loved ones.
