October 15th

October 15th is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. Many different events are done throughout the country but in Navarre they participate in an International Wave of Light. The goal is to light a candle at 7pm and have it burn for one hour so that for 24 hours straight on that particular day there is a wave of light over the entire world. This was the first year we had heard about the event here and were able to attend. I took Sailor and Cutter along with me since Hank and Tucker had soccer practice. Sailor was hoping there would be enough lanterns to light up the sky like they did in the movie Tangled.

It was a beautiful night overlooking Santa Rosa Sound where we released our lanterns.

Sailor and Cutter both did a little artwork on our lantern.

This was our first experience with the lanterns and I was quite surprised with how big they were.

 

 

So there may not have been as many as in Tangled, but it was still a beautiful sight.
