Another Difficult Day For Me .... And I Have Been Inspired By Melissa



Today is another difficult day for me. I know I should be doing my assessments and so on for my counselling course that I'm doing at uni, but I'm finding it very hard to focus on them this week...... I desperately need some down time, and I have the urge to reach out to others who are finding it tough at the moment too.



I recently came across a beautiful blog called "To Write Their Names In The Sand", where a wonderful lady in Western Australia writes your precious lost baby's name in the sand, this site is a beautiful memorial to her son Christen. I was so honoured when she wrote Nicholas name in the sand for me. Linked to her blog she also has a support blog called "Under The Tree", and through this site I came across Melissa a lovely, but very heartbroken mama in America, requesting for anyone around the world that lives near the ocean to be able to write her precious daughter's name in the sand.

To view her blog the address is:

So that's what I did yesterday afternoon, once the rain had cleared..... I was amazed how wonderful a feeling it was to be able to do this for Melissa. It made a difficult day for me alot easier.... So Thank You Melissa.

This idea has got me thinking, that there are many of us around the world who have not only lost our precious babies, we have also lost others that a very precious to us too.

Because I live so close to the beach, I have decided that if anyone would like me to write a precious lost loved one's name in the sand, I am very happy to do so.

I too, as Melissa, would also love if anyone out there living near the ocean, could please write Nicholas name in the sand, and also if you don't mind taking a photo of it and sending to my email address..... Thank You....

Below is a photo I took yesterday of the path leading onto the beach where I took the photos.
