More walks for Ryan!

In my hometown Fresno, California they had a Memorial Walk for our angel babies on my birthday! It was a beautiful evening and I'm so thankful to my family for supporting Jake and I and honoring our baby Ryan. Here are some pictures they took.

the walk!

There was a dove release... with this poem read: "With these doves, We remember our infant loved ones who have died. Death has forced us to let go of the children we would hold. As we let go of these doves we send forth a message. To the community the message is: Our babies were wanted, were real, are loved, and grieved, and remembered. To one another as bereaved families the message is: We are not alone. With support we survive and grow. To our beloved children we have spoken of today the message is: We remember you! We miss you! And most of all, we love you!"

These are some pictures that my brother Chris and Talynn took of their walk in Orange County, CA on Oct. 11th. That makes two walks in CA... by my brother and wife... and family in Fresno, a walk here in WA by us and Jake's mom, and Jake's sister had Ryan's name read in Florida at the walk there where she lives! Awesome!

more balloons for Ryan, I'm sure he feels so honored

Thanks again to all my family, we will look forward to this every October, what a great month!
