Remembrance Day

I would love to share a couple photos from an event I recently organized, it was October 15, 2012 which was "International Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day". For more information, interested readers can visit Remembering Our Babies.

A dear friend, Heidi Faith, inspired me by organizing an event in her own home state of Kansas.  Heidi is the creator of StillBirthday.  Her outreach and work is a wonderful resource for anyone who has or who supports a family who suffers from loss.

Remembrance Balloon Release
on the Caloosahatchee in Barron Park, LaBelle, Florida on October 15, 2012

Those who experienced a miscarriage, stillbirth, struggled with infertility, or lost a child at any age, gathered to release a balloon with us on the Caloosahatchee in Barron park, LaBelle, FL.  Parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends joined together displaying love for their children who were not physically present in their lives but who are ever present in all hearts!

Next year for October 15th I hope to organize a walk in a local nature park that ends with a balloon release.

God bless,
