Thank you for this. <br /><br />I don&#39;t know why it didn&#39;t occur to me before but when I was reading what you said about not knowing whether to laugh or cry, it suddenly occurred to me that today I should be celebrating the feast day of my baby Francis who went to heaven via miscarriage more than two years ago. <br /><br />It&#39;s a funny synchronicity because I was just writing about that experience after Mrs. Darwin posted a link to an article about miscarriages. <br /><br />We&#39;d almost certainly not have named the baby Francis had it been full term. That wasn&#39;t one of the names we were considering. But somehow when I knew I was miscarrying it felt right. <br /><br />For each of the kids we&#39;ve tried to acknowledge their patron saint on their feast days. I suppose I should try to think of a suitable way to acknowledge this day.Melanie Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12557248434888642114noreply@blogger.com
