Hello my lettering friends!
I’m so sorry that our schedule is being rearranged a tad. We should have moved to Italic Calligraphy today, but I am finishing my (last minute prep) for the 2to1 Conference.
I know that the calligraphy pen can be a little tricky, and I didn’t want to rush through these assignments. We will pick back up shortly!
I will continue to Periscope a few times daily during the conference… Including having some of my right-handed friends join me!
In the meantime, I have a task for you.
Tomorrow, October 15th, is the International Wave of Light for pregnancy and infant loss awareness.
Some of you who’ve recently joined me for the lettering series may not know that in 2011 I lost my daughter when she was 28 days old.
Each year since I’ve joined the wave of light at 7PM, even the year we were in Disney.
It’s a beautiful reminder of these little souls, lost far too soon.
Tomorrow when I light my candle, I will be writing the names of my daughter and the names of many of my friends’ lost babies.
I would love the honor of writing the name(s) of the child(ren) whom you’ve lost.
I find that one of the hard parts of having a daughter in Heaven, is not hearing and seeing her name as often as I do my living children.
Please add your child’s first name to the comments, or by emailing me. If you lost your baby before you had the chance to name him/her, please let me know and I will draw a heart in honor of that life.
If you know of someone who would be blessed by seeing the name of their lost child written out, please forward this post to them.
Here is the video of the names I wrote to remember during the Wave of Light.
Thanks so much for understanding, and for helping me with this project.
We lost our baby boy, Cole, on May 31st, 2012.
I am so sorry for your loss of Cole.
I lost Alexander Thanksgiving of 1984, 2 months before his due date, and 2 others in the first trimester. Thank you Lisa for doing this.
I am so sorry for your losses, Robin.
Isaac – Stillborn on March 15, 1999
Thank you so much for including our precious wee ones!
I’m sorry for your loss of Isaac, Heather.
Our daughter was born stillborn at 22 weeks in 1993. Her name is Jolin Joy.
Much love to you.
We lost twins, I believe in my heart, daughters back in 1990, the day after Thanksgiving. After all these year, I still think of those dear heavenly beings who went ahead of me where I long to be. We also lost our adult son only two short years ago. So write the name of Fredrick and honor his two sisters, whom he has now met before me, too. I know they have names, ones that God conferred on them. But I don’t know what their names are…yet.
I am so sorry for your losses. There is never a time when losing a child is easy.
1987…..unnamed yet but in my heart I know she was Laura.
Until the day you get to greet her by name. <3
We lost our baby boy, Caleb, when I was 19 weeks pregnant on August 28, 2001.
I am so sorry for your loss of Caleb.
Our angel babies are Trevor, Colin and Abigal
Much love to you.
My brother, Nathan.
Thinking of you at this special time. ♡

I know I’m late for this but, we lost our little Rachel 33 hours after her birth, in 1982.
Becky, I’m so sorry for your loss.
My “adopted” daughter lost our grandson at three months 27 days. We just celebrated his first birthday. Even in death, Jace’s spirit changes hearts for the better. My angel. ❤️
I am so sorry for your loss of Jace. My thoughts and prayers go to you all as you celebrate his life and mourn his loss. Please let me know if there is a way for me to reach out to your sweet bonus daughter.
