Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Today is White Cane Safety Day, a day which receives too little recognition, so by all means, do your homework.

From http://www.october15th.com/:
Remembering Our Babies: This special day of
Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance is October 15th of every year.
This site was created to provide support, education, and awareness for
those who are suffering or may know someone who suffered a miscarriage,
an ectopic pregnancy, a still birth, or the loss of an infant.
Hmm.
My first and last pregnancies ended in miscarriage, plus I had two more
sandwiched between the births of my seven children. After all these
years I continue to mourn all four losses. How is it possible that I
never heard of this day??

From My Friend, Susan, of NC - 10/14/15:
“In ancient Greece,
runners competed in a relay race called a lampadedromia.1 In the race,
runners held a torch in their hand and passed it on to the next runner
until the final member of the team crossed the finish line. The prize
wasn’t awarded to the team that ran fastest—it was awarded to the first
team to reach the finish line with its torch still lit. There is a
profound lesson here, one taught by prophets ancient and modern: while
it is important to start the race, it is even more important that we
finish with our torch still lit.”
