October 15, 2012 was a day for the record books, that is for sure!
The amount of love and support that exploded out of yesterday was one of the most amazing and humbling experiences we have ever witnessed. When we made the request to light a candle at 7 PM in your respective time zone, we really planned on maybe a few responses.
Well folks, over 100 pictures landed in our laps last night. They kept streaming in all day today. We have never seen anything like it. Most all of the photos came with a story, note, or a prayer. We loved reading and learning about all of the angel babies in Heaven. When we pray from here on out, we can pray more intentionally for all of the precious babies who left us too soon. They are loved. Always and Forever.
We will see them again.
The love that poured out of yesterday was something I just cannot ever find and probably will never find, the right words to explain. Since I am sure to fall short on words, I am going to transition right over to the amazing and beautiful "digital tidal wave of light". This video is one of my most favorite creations, and I think it fully captures the hope, faith and love that pulsated around the world yesterday. We cherish this video, and will watch it often. It is beautiful and perfect.
Thank you to every single person who lit a candle yesterday.
Thank you for your love.
Thank you for taking time to recognize, support, and honor Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day. The act of lighting candles is just one small way we all can give this month the respect it deserves and also help grieving families wrap themselves in sweet baby angel love. I know for a fact that this video will help many Mommies and Daddies out there who are hurting over the loss of their angel. This video has already helped us more than you know.
Always remember,
Pass It On. (You all so did that, keep going!)
Be a candle AND a mirror. Spread your light.
Without any further adieu, here is the Digital Wave of Light :)
WARNING: Find a tissue. Please turn up your volume :) Just a fair warning!
We love and miss you Jackson Neil DeLoach. All for you sweet boy, all for you. Fly baby, fly.
Many Thanks and Love,
Russ and Emily
This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. I am unbelievably moved by the goodness in people and so fortunate to have you two brave, honest, loving friends in my life. I said it at your rehearsal dinner and I will say it again with renewed enthusiasm... Emily, you make me a better person! And little JND has only added to your amazing character, grace and selflessness. Love, Rachael
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Emily! Thank you for putting that together for all our angel babies :) You are one special woman! xoxo, Sarah
ReplyDeleteThis was beautiful. Thank you for collecting all of the photos and putting this together.
ReplyDeleteI so needed six tissues to make it thru this one. I had goose bumps the entire time and felt the love so strongly. Thank you for sharing, and loving enough to want to share.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
