Parents, you’ve got questions, we’ve got answers.

Or just as likely, we’ve got questions and you’ve got answers.

Her Fathers' Eyes

I'll never see her baby blue eyes.

Gone to early. Never forgotten. But I love you and believe you'd have my eyes.

I know this because you changed the way I see things. You opened my eyes to see life differently. You must have my eyes, because you'll always have my heart. The eyes are the gateway to the heart and my heart still beats for you.

October 7 is a day that I celebrate in remembrance every year.

And every year I'm a little stronger.

Life begins at conception. I claim this and I share this simply to say that my heart, thoughts, and prayers go out to anyone, women (mothers) and men (fathers), who have experienced this, whether that is an ectopic, miscarriage, still birth, infant loss or abortion (which happens at the shocking and sad rate of 1+ every minute).

I'm filled with deep gratitude for the peace to be able to claim life after loss, and ever lasting life as gain.

Until I get to look into your eyes,

Your Loving Daddy
