Introduction	On February 15, 2011 our first born, Gustavo Gabriel, died in utero, a day after his due date. We were at 40 weeks gestation. We were able to birth him, hold him and kiss him. But we were not able to bring him home. On August 8th 2012, we miscarried our daughter Olivia Flor. We were on the cusp of our second trimester. Lola's Lost -n- Found, originally created as a shop name in which my alter-ego creative self could thrive, has now become a mission. Because of our loss, I am in a desperate battle to find ground, grab onto root and pull myself up for air and to figure out how to live this new vulnerable life. This Blog honors the old artist within and the one I am becoming while surviving loss. It also honors the consistent and powerful love offered to me by a true survivor, my abuelita, Gloria "Lola/Lolita".
