October 15th Photos

October 15th is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day.

This year we had our Annual Walk to Remember on the actual day.

(beginning our walk around the park)


It was our 5th annual walk and we had approximately 100 people.



(a pink balloon for my babybear)

We had a Remembrance Ceremony
which included a local artist and a local author speaking
and the reading of the babies names.

The nice walk around the park was followed by fellowship and refreshments.


(cupcakes generously donated by one of our participants)

That evening, I participated in the World Wide Wave of Light.

A nice way to remember my little girl, and all the other babies gone too soon.

I ♥ you, babybear.

WW: Bedtime

This is how I know when it's
bedtime

WW: Hibernation

When there's a blizzard outside
it's best to curl up with a blanket
and have a nap.

WW: Frost

Frost
Taken yesterday afternoon
from my backyard facing Northeast.
-6C degrees with windchill -13
not too cold for January in these parts.
(Practically balmy compared to a couple weeks ago)

WW: Crazy Horses

It was -39C (or -38.2F) with the windchill when this photo was taken.
I don't know why the horses weren't inside their barn where it was warm!
I took this photo from my kitchen window.
