I think the title is very appropriate…and I can relate and I look forward to reading the finished work.
Only those that go through it can truly understand. GoodLuck!!!

Deanna,

I have been a chronic lurker on the boards since losing my angels in 2003. Although I post occassionally, I am able to draw strength from the women who so graciously and freely give of themselves here every single day.

I read each new exerpt from your book, and although none of the stories mirror my own, I must admit that I see a piece of myself, of my story in every single offering. I applaude your outstanding efforts, not only on the book, but in creating and maintaining a safe place for women like myself, who felt we had nowhere else to turn.

Thank you, Deanna, so very, very much~finally, our story will be told!!

I really like the title. Very appropriate, and I think every woman who has ever had a miscarriage will definitely relate to it.

Congratulations Deanna! I am so proud of you the title is absolutely perfect. It is an auspicious title, I think! Sometimes we just know when something fits just right, don’t we. Like the names we have chosen for our children/angels. I haven’t told you this before, but 3 of the children’s names you have chosen (for middle or other) were also chosen by me and my husband. That is Faith, Grace and Daniel. When I read that on your story I couldn’t believe it. One is a coincidence, but three! I took that as a sign that those names are important and the right choice.

Okay, obviously my earlier comment is gone…don’t know what happened but I did say how beautiful and perfect the title is. I also said I thought you must write about online interaction with the baby dust comment (but you must only write what you want). I then shared a poem I wrote a month ago that is not in any way the same as “baby dust” but it has a simple title like that…

Baby Breath

You were a word
God whispered in my ear
His sweet exhale
I greedily listened
waiting
to hear
the story
of you
next
He took a breath
drew you back in
Desperate
I reached out
and tried to cover
His mouth
impossible
I am too small
and you were
not mine
so I whispered
He let me whisper
your name.

Oh, and I meant to say you could write about online stuff. I don’t mean to tell you what to write! You’re doing a beautiful job.

I think the title was meant to be, for sure.

Beautiful…nothing more perfect. You must write about online support, sharing this comment because there are people out there that know nothing of our world online. I know baby dust goes onto other sites, but you’d be amazed to hear how many people have no idea.

I’d like to share a poem I wrote, it’s got a similar title but not the same. Sorry, I just feel compelled.
