capture your grief day 31

*I am disgusted that fb shut down the page for this event. I say screw them and I'm going to post on my personal page anyway. I refuse to let fb ruin this beautiful project on its last day. Let's see those beautiful sunsets!

31. Sunset: To close this project and this month of Baby Loss Awareness I thought that we could all photograph the sunset from wherever we are in the world. If there is no sunset where you are, you can still take a photo of the early evening sky. You just need to be able to get to a window. Remember to caption what State/Country you are from and the time.

***SIGGY WARNING***

Unfortunately tonight I will be traveling to my grandparents who live in the country and have no internet or even TV. (Its awesome, really!) So I will be in Indiana thinking of you. 

I wont be able to participate, but I wanted to just encourage each of you and thank you all for participating in this journey on the days you were able to. I love that I felt closer to my daughter by doing it. 

Love to each of you mommas! And thank you again @lrichmond86 for doing this each day.

Wow! I can't believe it's been 31 days already and now the end of this photo challenge. This photo #nofilter was the very first sunset that we watched after Mary passed away. This was in one of our favorite spots to watch the sunset over Lake Michigan. It was so beautiful! I know that Mary made it extra special for us and for Walt's very first sunset. As I watch the leaves fall and the sun set on another day, I am reminded that it is just one day more that I am away from Mary. Someone reminded me, however, that I am also one day closer to seeing her again... And that is something I can be excited about. This photo challenge has been incredibly healing for me. I'm going to miss it. It was a chance for me to show all the love I have for Mary and just how much she means to me. I miss her every day and every day is filled with different challenges. This photo challenge helped me to capture that and forced me to say the things I couldn't say. I appreciate the kindness and understanding as I opened up about losing Mary this month. She is my baby girl and every day is difficult without her but the love we receive from family and friends helps, even the slightest bit, to ease some of the pain.
"I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you" I miss you. I love you, sweet girl! I'll be seeing you.

Wow, facebook shut this down? So awful. I have been so behind on blogging but I'm going to pick a few days from what I've missed and do them this afternoon. I am sad this month is over as I loved spending so much time with Patricia!

Not sure if you all saw this, but it explains why the project was shut down.  Very disheartening, but I don't blame facebook, I blame all those people who posted such negative and hurtful comments about the angel babies.

Thanks for sharing that video. I did see it last night. I'm still not pleased with fb- I think they should have temporarily closed the accounts of those leaving offensive posts, which would have also removed their posts- but I understand why they did what they did.

That being said, here's my sunset post. A day late thanks to down pours here last night.

I agree with you completely, but this gave some perspective that made me a little less upset.  They also shut down a page for another project I was participating in (4th trimester bodies project) which was created by a loss momma who wanted to show the beauty of a women's body after birth.  It is amazing and because people are complaining (some pics show the mom's nursing, but in a very tasteful way) it has shut it down.  Sorry, getting off my soap box.  Just makes me so mad!
