I have loved this book and author for a long time. He has a way of making literature come alive. I always thought it was a lovely story about the unconditional love of a parent. In a way it is and another way it is not. I have made the picture a link to the story behind this book. In short it was originally a song to his 2 babies who were born still born. While I have not experienced this type of perinatal loss, i still find it touching and powerful story.  I have always had a feeling in my heart each time I read this story that it was based on a very personal story. After learning his story I don't think I can read it the same way again.

Well, I finally did. I registered for the walk part of this event and feel great about it. I also changed my facebook pictures and posted the link as well. I think this is a  very good idea and puts a face to pregnancy loss at all stages. So many people experience a perinatal loss and feel that they are alone. So far over 200 participants have signed up and still lots of time for others to join. If you want to join me and others for this event you can register at the runningroom.com
