Prayer Flag for all the Angel Babies

This year for The Day of Hope I created a prayer flag that represents all of the angel babies that I have done PinWheel Pictures for.  The middle of this flag says "For this one it makes a difference".  This was the theme for this flag.  It is based off the story of  the Star Fish Legend.

Starfish Legend

An older man was walking along a beach when he saw a young boy. Along the shore were many starfish that had been washed up by the tide and were sure to die before the tide returned. The boy was walking slowly along the shore and occasionally reached down and tossed a beached starfish back into the ocean.

The older man, hoping to teach the boy a little lesson in common sense, walked up to the boy and said, "I have been watching what you are doing, son. You have a good heart, and I know you mean well, but do you realize how many beaches there are around here and how many starfish are dying on every beach every day? Surely, such an industrious and kindhearted boy such as yourself could find something better to do with your time. Do you really think that what you are doing is going to make a difference?"

The boy looked up at that man, and then he looked down at a starfish by his feet. He picked up the starfish, and as he gently tossed it back into the ocean, he said,

"For this one, it makes a difference."

 

That is my purpose for PinWheels In Heaven that one at a time I am helping to make a small difference in the lives of my fellow baby loss mommy sisters in grief/friends.  I hope it brings them comfort in knowing that I will remember and honor their angel babies.

 

Another thing I am adding to my purpose for PinWheels in Heaven is H.O.P.E

H-Helping

O    Other

P- People

E-Endure

 

I've borrowed this theme from Garrett's Project--they have a monthly HOPE Meetings and Garrett's Mommy has special projects that she does to honor her angel baby Garret like HOPE Dogs.  When I saw what they had HOPE stand for it really touched my heart and it really represents why I started PinWheels from Heaven in the first place.  It was after Janessa's 1st Angel Birthday and I wanted a way to honor her and help others in ways that I wished people had helped me.  I was pregnant with Hope Abigail when I started PinWheels from Heaven.  Hope was a big part of  this blog even though at first I never mentioned her.  Hope was what I was holding onto that I would find rainbow healing through her.  It was not to be and instead I gained another angel daughter.  Through Hope's death I have gained understanding, empathy and compassion for those who loose their babies through miscarriage early in their pregnancies.  I have learned that it doesn't matter when you loose your baby--all baby losses are valid.  All babies are important no matter how long they lived.  Hope is what I am striving for Hope for myself to find joy and peace again and Hope to help other people endure this very hard grief journey.

 

There is a star on the front and back to represent each Angel Baby and on the back of the flag I've listed all the angel babies names.

 

I really love how this flag turned out and I am so glad to have another way to honor and remember all of your angel babies on this Day of Hope too.
