As our family and friends know, our baby girl Addelyn was stillborn on August 30th. On October 11th we went to an event for families who have lost babies called "A Walk to Remember". It is an event to remember those babies who have passed away and we take a walk around the park in honor of the steps our babies will never take. After the walk, each person gets a balloon (pink or blue, depending on whether they lost a boy or a girl). Then as each babies' name is read, the family of that baby releases their balloons. This first picture is of some of the group walking around the park. And the second picture is of some of those balloons being released.

I didn't know that such an event existed. That's nice to have something like that. Do they do it every year/quarter/month? Do you get to participate only once or is this an annual event?
I have heard of this event before and I think it's very theraputic to honor and remember your lost little ones. I have one question... what do the white baloons represent?
That's so nice they put that together. (who are "they?") It's probably nice to connect with other people who've been through it. (not that we'd want a lot of people to have to go through that.)
the white ballons represent a baby that the parents did not know if they lost a boy or girl.
