Day 1: Sunrise

Can you imagine burying your first born... no sweet baby giggles... no sweet baby smiles... no first tooth... no first steps... instead, you held your baby as his body grew cold, your reality involved a funeral, a cemetery plot, a headstone, and packing up your sweet baby's things. 

The reality is, babies die too.

October is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss awareness month. I lost my first two babies to miscarriage in 1999. I lost my third baby to miscarriage in 2006. I said hello and goodbye to my precious son Landon on March 26, 2010.

I noticed some other bereaved mothers "capturing their grief" through photos. I'm a day late starting, but am joining in on this. I decided to start a blog to capture my 31 days. 31 days of photos. 31 days of grief. Any baby loss mom can tell you that your grief is your own. Your journey is your own. We come together and support each other through, we travel this broken road together, yet we are still so very alone. 

Day 1: Sunrise... I'm guessing that is not just a coincidence. Capturing your grief for 31 days and the first day is sunrise *grin* well played.

So, here is my Day 1 photo "sunrise" although it was taken on day 2, and not exactly at sunrise.
