A friend and fellow BLM welcomed her Rainbow baby the other day. When I saw the first picture I thought wow I see a lot of the older sibling. Then it dawned on me that even though our babies are not living here on earth bits of them actually do live on through our older or subsequent children, our spouses or even ourselves. That made me feel good. Not that a older child or subsequent baby replaces the lost one but gives us a little glimpse of who the lost child might have been.
Not sure if that makes any sense!!
I thought about what it must have been like to welcome a Rainbow baby. Joy, happiness, relief and probably more than a few tears, of both joy and sorrow. I hope to get to experience that someday.
