If you follow me on FaceBook you already know about the upcoming Sky Lantern Event that Franchesca Cox and I are hosting on September 15th.
Inspired by the scene in the movie Tangled, Fran wanted to release sky lanterns up to heaven to honor her precious Jenna Belle that went to heaven in 2009.
While chatting one day she asked if I'd be interested in helping her organize an event for Baby Loss Moms everywhere.
So was born, "Light the Night with Love." On September 15, 2012 at 7pm, Baby Loss Moms, their families and friends will gather at Mary Jo Peckham Park in Katy, TX to release sky lanterns up to heaven to remember the babies lost too soon.

So far we have received 189 angels' names from all over the world that we will write on the lanterns. We have also been blessed to have received 72+ donated sky lanterns for the event. I swear, Baby Loss Moms are the most generous people out there!
We SO wish that all the families could join us but since it's impossible we will release the lanterns with as much love in our hearts as possible. We will also have a photographer and videographer at the event so that we can post the images and video as soon as possible for all to see.

One problem we have RIGHT NOW is that we don't have enough IRL (in real life) Baby Loss Moms, families and friends committing to attend.
If we have (let's say) 80 lanterns to release and each one needs to be opened, lit and released, we need more than 8 to make it happen without it taking several hours...
That brings me to my PLEA for help. Please please please spread the word about this lovely event meant to link loss moms across the world together by remembering our tiny angels waiting for us in heaven.
Help us Light the Night with Love and ask your friends and family who are in the Houston/Katy/Cypress/Tomball/Magnolia/Pearland/Sugarland/Galveston/Navasota/Kemah/Austin/Beaumont/College Station areas to join us on the 15th of this month.
If you are seeing this blog post and are not able to attend, please join the FaceBook Event here and request your angel(s) to be honored at the release.
Thank you and God Bless,
Amanda
