I have alway heard you never forget.

You don't ever forget them I lost 5 babies.

I don't want to forget.

They would have been 30-36 years old now

There is a Japanese/Buddhist practice of acknowledging the loss of an unborn child, mitzuko kuyo, where a shrine is erected for that child's spirit. I've been thinking of putting up such a shrine for the two that I've lost during my lifetime.

I would have paid more attention in school and take all hard subjects, everything I could get my hands on. I would of went to college for sure. But I didn't turn out too bad. I am very happy with my life. I now have self taught so many hobbies that I don't have enough time in the day to do them all.

I am so sorry for both of your losses. I know the pain must be great to go back & think about it. What might have been. We had a dear friend that had one son & when she got pregant with another the doctor had to take it because she was gonna die. She died a couple of years ago with cancer & she still grieved over her lost baby till the end. So now they are together in heaven. I gotta close. You guys are breaking my heart. Will remember you both in my prayers.

I debated on replying...but feel I must. I too lost a little one in 1983 (between my first two and second two!). He was born a little early, and his little lungs were not developed enough. I named him Noah. I now have 2 grandbabies with Noah in their names...Noah Andrew and Gabriel Noah! So special, you never forget, but life does continue.....thoughts for all of those who have experienced this loss.
