There were a lot of people at the walk. It was nice to be there, and also so sad to see so many families that have been affected by the loss of so many precious infants.
This mascot totally had the hots for Lexi. He totally came up to her (and only her) and hugged and posed with her. He was like "take a picture!"
We walked on the beautiful beach for awhile before the walk got going. They had these really cool book boxes on the beach. I love this idea! Take a book if you'd like one, leave a book if you have an extra. So cool.
After the walk they released butterflies. We actually missed this part because it was on the agenda for later. But as we were walking to our car we saw several butterflies still flying around.
Alli plans on participating every year, so hopefully we can too. Also,Bonnie is starting classes to become a still birth doula. This little boys life has meaning and has, and will continue, to affect many lives for the better.
Alli had these shirts made for each of us, and also Tom-Bon and Anthony. The front says our relationship to Harvey (Harvey's aunt) and the back has a picture of Harvey's fox and says "Harvey's angels."
Even baby max got a onesie. (:
Before the walk got going they had the butterfly ceremony where they read the name of each baby and gave out a handmade butterfly. We mailed it to Tom-Bon.
They were also able to donate a bench for a memorial. The Tears Foundation helps bereaved parents with expenses related to losing a child. It seems like a really awesome foundation.
It was a nice weekend to honor and remember our little angel baby.
Harvey's angels, yo!
