Morning Glory (September Birth Flower)

Morning glories represent renewal, fleeting beauty, and the promise of each new day. Their blooms open with the sun and fade quickly, reminding us that a presence, no matter how brief, still matters. In the language of flowers, morning glory has been associated with affection, vitality, spiritual awakening, and fleeting love.

There is something meaningful in that when we think about the language of flowers. A bloom does not have to last forever to be beautiful. A moment does not have to be long to matter. And love does not become smaller because the time was short.

Morning glories have been connected to mourning, farewell, and resurrection in memorial symbolism. Their vines continue to reach and climb while each bloom lasts for only a short time. There is something comforting in that even when a life has ended, love continues to reach beyond what we can see. What we have lost is still a part of us, still remembered, and still carried forward.

For NICU and Angel Baby families, time can be short but deeply meaningful. Our babies can change us in moments, not years, and those moments become part of everything that follows.

Like the morning glory, even the briefest moments leave lasting light. It reminds us that no matter the length of time something lasts it can still have a lasting change. It does not fade or disappear because it was short-lived but represent an enduring love, the fragility of life and an idea of renewal.

----

The babies we remember for September are the little ones who have been submitted to the Angel Baby Club for 2026 as of September 3, 2026. If you would like your little one to be included in the Angel Baby Club for 2026, you can sign up through our website.

Thank you, Erin Sowerby Greene, for the beautiful Morning Glory drawing and helping bring this year's flowers to life.

Angel Barrel Update 🌱

Everything seems to be growing a little slower this year and taking its time to fill out. Earlier in the year, many of you who planted seeds with us had an overflowing amount of green before most of my seeds had even popped up. It has been a good reminder that every garden has its own life and its own cycle.

All of my flowers in my yard this year have been late bloomers. Usually, they would be about a month ahead of where they are now, and I would already be seeing the full garden coming together and had lots of fresh bouquets, but I havent been able to make one. The flowers are growing, just at their own pace.

Plants, life, and grief all move through cycles. Sometimes things grow quickly, and sometimes they need more time. Sometimes we need more care, more patience, and more love before we are ready to bloom. That does not mean we are broken or doing something wrong. It simply means we may not be ready yet.

It may not be the most perfect year for blooms here, ironically, in a year where we are highlighting flowers. But maybe that is exactly what makes this meaningful and where I like to believe our babies are sending a reminder to us. Not every season looks the same, and not every year brings the blooms we hoped for.

Sometimes the reminder is simply to keep watering, keep caring, and give things the time they need. The flowers will come when they are ready.

Maybe we can offer ourselves that same patience, care, and love.

"You don't have to be strong every moment. Showing up is enough.''

This month's restock was one that truly reminded me how quickly these carts can make an impact.
Kootenai Health experienced a record number of births over the past month, which unfortunately also meant a higher number of babies in the NICU. In just one month, the Care Cart was nearly emptied, which is not common at Kootenai and I made a second trip to ensure it was fully stocked for the families who continue to walk through those NICU doors.

Every blanket, journal, stuffed animal, and gift card found its way into the hands of a family who needed a little extra comfort.

A special thank you to everyone who helped make this month's restock possible, including the donations made in honor of sweet Josie's 4th birthday. 🤍

This month's impact between both Fallon's Care Carts:
🖐️ 52 Ink Pads
📖 30 Blank Journals
💙 8 NICU Journals
🧸 57 Loveys
🦁 63 Razzbaby Animals
🤍 67 Swaddles
🛏️ 48 Small Blankets
🎁 31 Gift Cards tucked into swaddles and loveys
💧 30 Electrolyte Packets

Looking Ahead to September September is NICU Awareness Month, and we're already planning ways to make it extra special. We are currently collecting raffle baskets, gift cards, and donated items for our fundraiser. If you'd like to contribute or become a sponsor, please send me a message—we'd love to have you be part of it.

You can support Fallon's Care Carts by making a monetary donation or shopping from our Amazon Wishlist: ➡️ fallonsflight.org/donate

Thank you for continuing to be part of our circle of compassion. Every item placed on these carts reminds a family that they are seen, supported, and never alone. Together, we're providing much needed items to families living the hardest days by their babies bedside.

As I prepare for the Angel Planting this year, I realized I needed to upgrade the planter for the Angel Baby Club as it has officially outgrown the two barrels.

As I moved the river rock to make room for the new container, I noticed so many flowers beginning to bloom from prior years’ plantings. It felt wrong to leave them behind. To me, these are not just flowers in barrels they are representations of our babies and how love continues to bloom. I decided to do my best to transplant what I could and hope it works. We’ll see what holds on when I plant the Angel Baby seed papers this year.

As I was transplanting the seedlings, I kept thinking about how, even though things change and we have to adapt to a new way of living, that doesn’t mean what was once there is gone. We can carry things forward as we move through life. Things will change, as they always have. Change is never easy, and the effort it takes can feel daunting as we head into the unknown but it can also be beautiful. You are not leaving your love behind. That is something that will always stay with you.

I don’t know if this resonates with you, but I know I need to remind myself often that just because time passes doesn’t mean Fallon is left in the past. She is my daughter today just as much as she was on the day she was born. I will always be her mother, and Will will always be her father, no matter what changes. She is carried forward with us.

🪻I hope you have a (insert preferred adjective) Mother’s Day tomorrow. Know that you are a mother today just as much as you were the day you met your little one — no matter how you met them or how you had to say goodbye. 🤍

“Miracles sometimes come in small packages.” 🤍

We received two donations from current NICU families this past month wanting to give back to families in the NICU! One family in the NICU at Sacred Heart is with their first child donated items they found very touching during their stay. Sending so much love to the Blair family as they navigate this season 🤍 The second was from a family with their twins at Kootenai Health who were recently discharged to go home donating golf sessions to .golf.grid for other NICU families. Sending a big congratulations to the NICU grads and family. 💕

We also received a donation made in loving memory of Haven 🩷🐻

Thank you to everyone who supported our latest NICU Care Cart restock at the end of April, and to the businesses who partnered with us this month — and

We did a large bulk order for our Serve with Liberty Volunteers this month in hopes to prep for most of the year so monitory donations are greatly appreciated to help cover the costs. If you prefer to purchase physical items, our Amazon Wishlist is always being updated. Below are a few items we are currently running low on that have not been ordered for the year:

🖐️ Ink Pads – Used to help families create lasting handprint and footprint memories.

📖 Journals – Each month we stock approximately 17 blank journals and 10 prompted NICU journals.

🖊️ Pens – Giving parents a way to reflect, organize thoughts, and add personality to footprints and handprints.

☕ Gift Cards – We love tucking gift cards into swaddles or loveys as quiet surprises for families.
We currently stock Thomas Hammer (Sacred Heart), Jitterz (Kootenai) and NW Pizza (Kootenai). We are looking for additional gift cards to local restaurants, coffee shops, DoorDash, or Amazon are also incredibly helpful. You’re welcome to include a note to a NICU family, and we can place it inside a blanket for you.

You can support Fallon’s Care Carts by donating or shopping our wishlist:

I had never embroidered before, but I brought a kit for Fallon’s road trip to pass the time on our journey.

It has become a quiet way to steady my heart and mind at the end of the day, and I hope it might be that for you too.

Drawing on April 25th

🤍Angel Baby Club families are automatically entered, but you can receive a second entry by commenting. 🤍Multiple angel babies are combined as one entry.
🤍If you are an angel or NICU parent, not in the Angel Baby Club, you can still participate by commenting your baby or babies’ name(s). *If you are not a public griever you can message me and I can enter you that way.
🤍For an additional entry comment what drew you to Fallon's Flight
🤍Non-Loss or Non NICU parents can enter as well by commenting what brings you to Fallon's Flight

There will be one winner per embroidery kit for a total of 4 winners.

Sending love to you all. 🤍🌷

As we are sharing about flowers this year here is some expansion for Tulips

Tulips symbolize deep and perfect love. Unlike the passionate love often associated with roses, tulips speak to a steady, enduring kind of love. As one of the first flowers to bloom in spring, they also represent renewal and love rising again after winter. In some traditions, their cup-shaped blooms are seen as vessels of grace — holding compassion, blessing, and charity.

Each color carries meaning:
🌷 Red — true and lasting love
🌷 Pink — tenderness and care
🌷 White — remembrance and peace
🌷 Yellow — warmth and hope
🌷 Purple — dignity and admiration

It’s hard not to see our babies in all the beauty around us. They are a love that continues to rise each season and with every bloom.
