There are many ways to remember our children but when we gathered together at a 2007 Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Event the healing journey really started for many of the attendees.  We cried, we laughed, we remembered and we walked together.  Each family signed the walk banner with a memory and then we carried the banner with us during the walk.  We also signed balloons which we released to the song FLY by Celine Dion.  The sky was so clear and blue on that fall day.  Watching those white balloons drift off into the blue sky was something I don’t think I’ll ever forget.  Before the balloon release I read something that I had written the night before.  I can’t remember it word for word but it had to do with the balloons disappearing from sight; even though we could not see them, they were there as real and as big as we had seen them when we had released them. Just like our babies; they were real and continue to be real- just out of our sight.  To find an event in your area check out www.october15th.com website.
