My friend is a high school teacher and he recently posted on my facebook wall “Today in class, I reordered students seats by placing them in alphabetical order by middle name. One girl’s middle name was Mabel. I told her that my friend had a beautiful daughter named Mabel; she should wear it with pride.”

At the Buddy Walk, a fundraiser for out local Down Syndrome congress, we walked with Jenna’s Journey- the team in support of a lucky little girl who I had the pleasure of helping into this world six years ago. This year they walked in in honor of Mabel and Jenna’s mom had some great bracelets made. There were many left over after the walk and I gave some of them to some of the donors to my next walk- Footprints on our Hearts, supporting my local babyloss bereavement group. The other day my friend was telling me how her daughter had taken a liking to the bracelet I had sent her. Her daughter knew Mabel’s story- she remembered the day when her mom was really sad because of a baby that died- and so she understands the significance of that bracelet. Recently her daughter was changing and my friend noticed that she was wearing the bracelet around her ankle.
Nine months later and Mabel lives on.
Have your friends done anything in honor of your lost ones?

What a beautiful gesture. These simple things really do take on an extra special significance. I love that people think of Hugo when they see stars, and brightly-coloured flowers xxx
I saw someone’s tattoo the other day and I totally thought of Hugo! It had stars and I wanted to tell her about the little fighter they made me think of, but it wasnt the right time/place (a patient i didnt know well). But I totally thought of him the rest of the day!
