CarlyMarie Project 2013

As October begins again it is a reminder that fall is here.  Pumpkins are displays, leaves begin to fall, and football games are played.  October is also Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.  I have decided to continue the CarlyMarie Project that I started last year.  This years list of reflection days are different from last year and I felt such comfort completing last years project.  I am blessed to have a wonderful husband who encourages me to complete each day.  He even offered time each night to reflect without distractions.

If you didn’t follow my CarlyMarie Project last year, please check it out this year.  Hopefully you have not lost a child and can get some insight into how bereaved parents feel during and after the loss of a child.  If you have lost a child, I am sorry.  Hopefully in reading about my project you will find comfort that you are not alone.  Check out more about the CarlyMarie Project Heal at http://carlymarieprojectheal.com

CarlyMarie Project 2013 – Day #1

Day #1: Sunrise

Sunrise is such a beautiful thing and as I begin this project I am reminded of the beautiful birth of Clara.  It truly felt like a new beginning.  Today I chose to take a picture of the sunrise at our local park.  It represents the sun rising each morning and knowing we are missing our little girl playing each day.  I took this picture and then noticed a little girls sandal in the sand.  I looked through that camera and realized it was in every picture I took this morning.  You can see it in the bottom of the picture.  I thought it was the perfect (unplanned) touch that God added as I prayed and began this project.

The lone shoe reminds me of the abrutness of her departure and the footprint she has left behind.  It is always there.

The shoe also reminds me that she is with me, in my heart, every morning when the sun rises.
