A Walk to Remember

Last weekend was the annual infant loss Walk to Remember. The walk took a slightly different path than the past two years, but it was still nice. There is a brief memorial service with readings, music and the mention of all our babies names...then the walk...then the finishing touches at the park we end the walk at with another song and an opportunity for families to speak if they'd like.
This was our 3rd year in a row for the walk. The first year we made a quilt square to add to the others. We made a square for Briana, turned it in to the hospital and then someone there put it together with a couple others. During the walk we carry the quilt squares in memory of our babies and lay them all together at the end of the walk to see them all joined as one big quilt.
There is one big kite that is flown in memory of those lost as well. There were a few families who brought their own to fly (it was windy enough that's for sure)...I think we will do that eventually. This year we just brought some balloons. We let the balloons go at the end of the walk. Hopefully they all made it all the way to Heaven.
We miss you Briana Mae and think of you often. Thank you for watching over us each day. Please continue to keep a close eye on your little brother and sister. We LOVE You!

Here we are before we left on the walk portion of the event (holding our quilt square).
The kiddos were soooo tired.

Here they go! Kiss, Kiss...bye bye!
