It is with regret that we have decided not to participate in our local walk to remember on October 15th. Honestly, I don't have it in me right now. Bennett will be just over one month at that point and it feels a little too overwhelming to tackle it. I am struggling with my lack of focus regarding this important, necessary day, but I also need to give myself space to welcome Bennett and make room for him in our lives.
We invite friends and family to donate to A Butterfly's Touch in memory of Charlotte. This is the organization we walked with and raised money for last year. They provide memory boxes to local hospitals so that those who leave the hospital with empty arms have a few memories and mementos. A memory box costs $40.00 to put together.
Thank you for loving us and our babies.
