Going to a SANDS balloon release today. Feel really anxious but in a way looking forwards to it because I want the balloons to go up to everyones angels and to raise awareness. Am trying to get ready but keep crying, so thought I would get my feelings out on here. The weather is bad rain for today Am hoping it drys up a bit.

Just had to respond...
Not come across this lovely idea before. Wonderful and heart renching all at once.
I don't have any balloons to hand but will especially think of my 2 lost angels and all the SANDS balloons today.

thinking of you today, I can only imagine what an emotional day it will be. I did my own personal balloon release, one pink and one blue and it was so emotional but to me that was the day that I really began to let my little angels go. I hope the weather clears up for you and that all your beautiful angel balloons can float off into a beautiful blue sky. xx

Thanks x

Was beautiful. Really emotional. Was a huge turnout which is so sad that so many had reason to be there Was coffee and tea arranged for after so was really good to be able to sit and chat to the other mums.

Photos of today on my profile.

beautiful photos, I'm glad it all went well. It must have been an incredible air of emotion with all of those other mums and dads too. Thinking of you. x

It was really moving to be standing there with one huge thing in common with all these (mostly) strangers was incredibly powerful.
