we.love.this. From @diary.of.a.stillbirth.mother ・・・ Yesterday I confided in a colleague and told her about my boys. I could see the anguish in her eyes, she was clearly heartbroken for me. But then she asked what gestation they were. And just like most others, she gasped a (not so subtle) sigh of relief when I told her they were born at 20 and 21 weeks. • She even uttered those two infamous words that have no place in the baby loss world. ‘At least’....At least you weren’t full term. Ouch. • Even the fact that I have had two stillbirths didn’t seem to rattle her as much as the thought of losing one baby at full term. • Can we please eradicate this notion that just because a stillbirth didn’t happen at 40 weeks that somehow our babies don’t matter?! • Why is it that this crazy society assumes that we don’t love our unborn children at 20 weeks, the same way we would love them at 40 weeks? • Is it because at 20 weeks, our babies don’t look like what society expects a baby to be? Chubby cheeks, perfect skin and fingers big enough to wrap around our own? • Does the simple fact that they were born too early take away our basic right to love and grieve the same way we would had they been born a few months later? • If there are two children in a family, aged 3 and 6, would it be easier on the parents if the 3 year old died instead of the 6 year old, because they didn’t know them as long? No! • ALL babies matter. No matter their size or gestation. A mother’s love is infinite and begins from the very moment she learns of the little life growing inside her. • To any mama’s out there who have lost a baby before the third trimester, I don’t need to tell you that your baby matters, you already know that they do. But please don’t let anyone make you feel like just because your baby was born early that you aren’t entitled to love and grieve for them the same way you would if they had been born at full term. • Our babies may have been small, but the power of their existence and our unconditional love for them is strong enough to move mountains. NEVER allow ANYONE to make you feel otherwise.

We as a society need to start holding these people accountable @columbia #FireElizabethLederer for the only reasons that matter : #YusefSalaam #KoreyWise #AntronMcCray #KevinRichardson and #RaymondSantana #SayTheirNames #WhenTheySeeUs #TheEXONERATED5 . .

H E C T O R B E R T I E ⭐️ 7 MONTHS ⭐️ I blow your kisses to the sky And off to you I let them fly Each one a wish I wrap in love Then send to you so high above I feel you watching as I do And know you hear each ‘I love you’ So every day I’ll send them high These kisses I blow to the sky

I tried to stay off of social media last weekend, only popping on periodically. It was just too hard. Those of you who sent love notes and checked in on me & mine, I’m just so grateful. The things people do for Chad are just overwhelming sometimes. People were posting about my husband and his brothers a lot. People I hadn’t seen or heard from since the funerals or before. I am in no way invalidating your memories, or your care for my husband/their son/their brother/etc. I just think it’s important to note that there are 364 more days in a year to honor a man. By looking after his family. By sharing his story, and saying his name. We love hearing your memories. We love talking about him. So while making a yearly Memorial Day post before you head out to your BBQ or the beach is all well and good, make sure you’re checking in on your Gold Star shiny humans all year. Because every day is Memorial Day for us. All that choking back tears, and staring at photos, and reminiscing, it’s a daily thing for us. & I guess I never understood that until I was one. A Gold Star shiny human. So I’d like to help open up the discussion and understanding on why it’s so so so important to a mans legacy, that you look after his family. That you create new memories, while reflecting on the ones he was here for. We’re his living legacy, and we deserve more than a social media post once a year. I urge you to do more. To keep your promises that you’d always look after us. Because it’s been a rough year behind the scenes of grief, let me tell ya. #AlwaysGoFullChad ♠️

warning... . just kidding. . my son doesn’t need a warning. . except that he may be the sweetest little boy you’ve ever seen. . maybe that needs a warning. . #acornerforavery #myboy

Are you outraged by this? • Imagine what it feels like to be an Indigenous woman living in a society that is more outraged over a red hat than if you go missing or if you are murdered. • "Hate Breed" by @indeclineofficial • Photo by: @thejasongoodrich • #MMIW #MMIWG #Dogwalks #INDECLINE #Art #HateBreed #PerformanceArt #Hollywood #HollywoodBlvd #Walkoffame #IndigenousResistance #Native #Indigeneity #StillHere #ProtectOurWomen #NoMoreStolenSisters #Justice4Henny #HennyStrong #HennyScott #HannaHarris #SayTheirNames #NorthernCheyenne #Tsitsistas • (Purse made by Michelle Kipp (Guzman), skirt made by me, and hat made by China )

60 miles ain’t nothin but a long walk when your why looks like these two ♥️ Tori and I have the honor of walking with Dan Cavanaugh who worked alongside Chris Slutman in the FDNY at their firehouse in the Bronx...Not only was he a FF, SSgt Slutman was also a Marine. More importantly , he was a husband and a dad...He was a man that dedicated his life to service . He was killed recently by a roadside bomb. The FDNY family is tight...and we will NEVER let Chris’s name be forgotten♥️ You can support us and Team RWB by clicking the link in my bio ⬆️⬆️Thanking you in advance from our family to yours ♥️ #saytheirnames #rucktoremember #mdw2019 #honorthefallen #fdny #usmc #60to60
