I chose to...
Still working on my goal of 1,000 cranes. I wouldn't want to send out that many, though... Definitely not :( My heart goes out to each and every woman who has contacted me. I think I've sent out around seven, so far.

Two Months
It's been two months since I lost my little Noel...
"These are my footprints,
so perfect and so small.
These tiny footprints
never touched the ground at all.
Not one tiny footprint,
for now I have wings.
These tiny footprints were meant
for other things.
You will hear my tiny footprints,
in the patter of the rain.
Gentle drops like angel's tears,
of joy and not from pain.
You will see my tiny footprints,
in each butterflies' lazy dance.
I'll let you know I'm with you,
if you just give me the chance.
You will see my tiny footprints,
in the rustle of the leaves.
I will whisper names into the wind,
and call each one that grieves.
Most of all, these tiny footprints,
are found on Mommy and Daddy's hearts.
'Cause even though I'm gone now,
We'll never truly part."

Another Crane to Send Out :)
I just got word from someone who wanted a crane, today. She is one of my DS sisters and has been very supportive in my time of suffering. She is also one of the ladies who inspired me to do something like this, to reach out to others in similar situations (even though she probably doesn't know it.) I'm really happy that she contacted me about wanting a crane.
She is going to use it to release on her EDD.

Tiny Wings
I started this as a way to reach out to women who are suffering or have suffered through the loss of a pregnancy or infant. I have had 3 miscarriages myself and found, through an online support group, that many women in the this situation suffer in silence. It may feel as if no one cares. So, this is my way of reaching out to other women, to let them know that someone does care about their pain.
What is it that I do? I send you a card with a paper crane to use however you see fit. Whether it's using it to burn for ashes (since some people who have experienced the loss of a pregnancy don't have remains for a ceremony or to put in a pendant) or to attach to a balloon for release. You could even just keep it as a keepsake. Whatever you wish to do.
To receive your card & paper crane:
Comment on any post, state that you would like one, and I'll get back to you on sending you your crane. You can choose colors or even a different shape other than a paper crane, if you wish. Include any other special requests. (Ie: Names on the wings, color, etc.)
Ideas for what to do with your paper crane:
-Attach to balloon for release
-Burn and use ashes in place of remains (to use in a ceremony or in a pendant)
-Keepsake
(I'll add more as more ideas come in.)
After you receive your paper crane:
-Pull apart the wings gently to open your crane up
-They may need a little gentle wiggle to get it just right
Please, feel free to send me pictures. I would love to post them on my site to show what you've done with them! Also, if you would like a memorial album dedicated to your angel baby/babies on the Facebook page, send me the pictures you would like to have included.
