Day 11: Supportive Friends/Family

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month. Every year an organization called www.ocwalktoremember.org hosts a walk where people go out and walk the steps their babies never got to take. All the proceeds go to supporting families in their time of grief. This year it was on October 6th in Irvine. We walked to remember Jane and had great support from our friends and family!

***All the way from Australia, my family remembered Jane!

 

Day 17: Anniversary/Birthday/Due Date

Jane’s birthday is January 18. Her birth stone is garnet, just like her Mama.

Every year we have decided to make dinner at Ronald McDonald House Orange County. It is our way of remembering the joyous time that Jane was alive. It is also our way to thank Ronald McDonald for what they gave to us in our time of need. The Ronald McDonald provides families a clean room, private bathroom, full community kitchen, laundry, refrigerators, dinner every night, amenities…the list goes on. We were told that if we needed something, just ask- they probably have it. It was definitely a blessing and a comfortable home away from home.

If you would ever like to donate or provide items for the Ronald McDonald House please visit: http://www.ronaldhouseoc.org/ways_to_give.php
