like a heart
Has it ever occurred to you that a heart looks nothing like, you know, a heart? Here are a few (not especially persuasive) theories why that might be.
And, because there's a flickr group for just about everything, I knew that, if I looked, I would find one consisting solely of fortuitous hearts.
Finally, as I mentioned, this weekend, I'm going on walk in memory of lost children. If there's a baby or babies that you hold only in your heart and would like to have remembered at the walk, please leave their names and dates in the comments.

I'd love it if you remembered Zachary, who died on April 26, 2007.

A very kind thing to ask! For my mama - Sharon Abagail, born and died Sept 12, 1979. I remember feeling her kick in mom's tummy, and how impossibly tiny her casket was, even to my 5 year old perception.
Thank you.
Please remember Dana Catherine, lost 8/12/04.

Nathaniel, June 22, 2007. Thank you.
