My favorite what ifs and forever wonders Parenting from afar and building a legacy because it's my motherhood.

My legacy is in you, because of them.

It is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, and today is the Wave of Light.

Tonight at 7 p.m., Chad and I will light three candles in honor of our three forever wonders.

This type of loss affects more people than you might realize.
1 in 6 struggle to conceive.
1 in 4 pregnancies ends in loss.
1 in 160 pregnancies ends with a child born still.

You know someone who carries this profound, life-changing grief, probably more than one someone.

This year, I’d love for you to join us. Light a candle at 7 p.m. for my three and for all the babies gone too soon.

If you’ve ever read one of my books or blogs, attended one of my events, received a bouquet of flowers from me, looked at a sunrise or sunset with a little more awe because of my wonder, talked with Jesus because of my faith, or practiced this courage work with me, then my three have touched your life, even in the smallest of ways.

My legacy doesn’t get to be with children earthside.
My legacy is in you, because of them.
