My Calling, Perhaps

In my life I've often wondered what my purpose was in life. Of course I always dreamed and wanted to be a mother, there is no questioning that.

Six months ago our hopes for a future were torn away from us. We lost our twin girls on the 9th and 10th of December. Then 18 days later we met our beautiful babies on the 28th. This has been the worst kind of nightmare, the loss like no other, nothing can ever replace our daughters.

Hopeful for the future that we have more children to add to our family, and that their big sister angels will watch over their siblings.

Through all our grief came a rainbow, no not a baby but a concept to create a non-profit charity in memory of our twins. In May I had created our facebook page in their memory for support and graphics. By June decided to go viral, as well as create another facebook page for the charity. A website was in the works for a long while but finally everything was happening. Fruit Of The Womb Angels was born and we began accepting requests for our mementos, beaded bracelets for bereaved parents in memory of their baby.

This morning I received an customer beaded bracelet request, it about brought me to tears. I will briefly write some of what was written.

"Hello, First I would like to say thank you for all the wonderful things you are doing to help support grieving parents. You are truly amazing. I am very sorry for the loss of your precious angels. You will be in my prayers."

It continued with her story and her losses, my heart broke for her when I learned about each precious baby.

And then she wrote this, "I am having a very hard time and it felt like God led me to this site. I would love and be honored to have the beaded bracelet/s in honor of my 3 angels.", "Thank you so much for offering these beautiful mementos for our angels."

I am happy to know that what we offer for our keepsakes is already going to help so many people. I want to be able to help give bereaved parents peace and hope our precious beaded bracelets bring comfort.

I know that I want to give back to so many wonderful charities who have given my husband and I keepsakes to remember our girls by. Once we have the ability to do so we will. As well I will be featuring all these organizations on my blog.

I know some people have asked about donations. Eventually I do plan to have a donation form available so if anyone would like to donate to our charity they will be able to. Once we establish our charity we will be setting up an official account, at that time we will then add an option for donations to our website. It makes me smile knowing we are helping so many and that people want to help us too.

Through our storm came a rainbow, a wonderful opportunity to give bereaved parents keepsakes in memory of their baby. I feel like I'm doing the right thing. Years of photography experience, losing our twins, creating our charity, this may just be my calling. Perhaps.
