One year ago, I had a miscarriage. We named that baby, BabySo. I was 12 weeks pregnant. At a routine obstetrician check the week before, we found out that we had lost the baby. For some it may seem like “just a miscarriage” and I have to say, in the past, I even said that to myself. An early miscarriage usually means that there was something not quite right – kind of like, natural selection. Small comfort to those who long for a baby. As for many parents, a miscarriage is not just a miscarriage. It is a heartbreaking event and although it happens often, it can be so very difficult. Some may have just the one and others have multiple miscarriages after years of trying to have children or even if they already have children, it can still be just as devastating. Hopes and dreams for that baby also die.
Miscarriage matters. If you have had one and had not been able to reach out and talk to someone about it, do it now, even if it has been many years….

In honour of BabySo, we have decided to sponsor a little girl in South America whose birthday is 11 Aug 2012 (born a day after Annabelle was). Hopefully, our loss of BabySo is able to make a change in this little girl’s life and her community.
