That is a beautiful song. Thank you for sharing the lyrics and your

kind words. It's inspirational that you have the pain you are going

through and you still think of others. I hope your heart is healing

and my prayers are with you and your child.

So sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with

you .. I have been where you are at ... we lost our first three

children ... My first pregnancy miscarried in the first six weeks ...

my second child was born alive but died six hours later from a strep

B infection that went septic and my third pregnancy I miscarried in

the fourth month ...

If there is anything I know ... it is the pain that comes with such a

loss. It has been over 16 years now since those loses occured ...

and still my heart responded to your loving message to this other

mother with great empathy for you as well.

Just wanted to let you know that my prayers are with you during this

your time of healing. Hoping you will find great comfort in knowing

that a complete stranger is thinking of you today...
