October 15, 2018: Remembering Our Lost Babies

The light of a distant star continues to reach the Earth long after the star itself is gone.

– Author Unknown

Today, October 15, 2018, we pause to remember the stars of our soul that were extinguished far too early.

To the parents who are missing their babies today and always, The Band sends our love and prayers.

To our babies, the babies who never got to experience the joys of Earth and whose lives were cut very short, we miss you.

We miss you. More than anyone can ever know. We wish we could have one more moment – one single moment – with you, as if we can’t have a lifetime with you.

Today, we honor the short lives of some of the brightest souls, souls that have touched many and have taught us to cherish all of life’s moments.

To our babies who we carry in our hearts, instead of our arms, we will never forget you.

Love,

Aunt Becky and The Band Back Together Project
