october 15

October 15th has a holiday that most  including myself would wish it wouldn't have existed. now before you jump on me and complain about how many wonderful holidays that are represented on October 15th,

• Christian Feast Day:

  • Saint Teresa of Ávila (Doctor of Church)
  • Saint Hedwig of Silesia
  • Saint Thecla of Kitzingen
  • October 15 (Eastern Orthodox liturgics)
• The Equirria or October equus, sacrifice of a horse to Mars. (Roman Empire)
• Global Handwashing Day (International)
• Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day (Canada and the United States)
• Earliest day on which Sweetest Day can fall, while October 21 is the latest; celebrated on the third Saturday in October. (Great Lakes Region)
• Teachers' Day (Brazil)
• White Cane Safety Day (United States)

to name them off from Wikipedia. I am more honing down on the pregnancy and infant loss remembrance day... it is not a popular holiday and it is not too well known. for those that truly know it at times wish they haven't due to no parent should have to go through the pain of their baby dying in utero or even earth side!

When I was 16, I experienced a pregnancy loss before I even knew I was pregnant. I noticed I was not having my period for 3 months. One day, I started to have extreme cramps, in short terms I ended up having a baby 12 weeks into development that was already passed away before I even knew I was pregnant. I am still touchy on this subject due to still healing.
