I have fallen a little in love with a website
One that I have written a sponsored post for
The products they sell are beautiful
Unusual
And have wonderful messages behind them
Every time I browse this site
I think of fellow NICU mummies
Angel mummies
Parents who have lived through
And live with
Loss and pain
Parents who put a brave face on
Every single day
If you have one of these special people in your life
Then some of these gift ideas
May be for you
To celebrate or remember a Rainbow Baby
These beautiful paper weights
Perfect gifts for anyone with a Rainbow
Here with them or in the sky
Anyone for whom rainbows have a special place in their hearts
If you know a mummy with empty arms
It is so important to show them that you know
That they are a mummmy too
Some of these gifts
I think would do that in a stunning way
Leaving your baby in NICU
Night after night
Is not easy
The guilt you feel
For not carrying your baby
Or babies to term
You carry with you
For the rest of your days
These parents are incredibly brave
Night after night
Day after day
They show courage
And resilience
And strength beyond measure
NICU parents share many of the characteristics
Of parents who have lost their baby to the stars
I know
I have done both
These gifts
I think
Would be perfect
For NICU mummies
And mummies with babies in the stars
And there is this
A baby vest
That I would have welcomed as coming home outfit for Esther and William
Or to send with Matilda Mae to the stars
Dream big, Start Small
Today has been a tough day
I wrote a post about it here
Celebrating survivors
Honouring warriors
We are all mothers
We are all parents
We are all stars
This last gift
I think would be perfect for all parents
All couples
Standing together
Looking forward
Remembering
Treasuring
United
In love
Parenting is not easy
It is all manner of wonderful things
But it is never easy
A hand-holding couple stands on top of a lively hilltop
Looking off into a vivid sky
Contemplating the path they’ve travelled together
And picturing the bright future they have ahead of them
