We participated in the 1st Out of the Darkness Walk in Newport, RI on Saturday. The weather was absolutely beautiful, we couldn't have asked for any better. To learn more about the event, please read my post here or their website here.
We started at 1st beach, walked up Memorial Bvd, down Bellevue, to Narragansett and 40 Steps. I took these pictures there. My grandparents had met us there and given us all flowers to toss over the edge in memory of Michael- for us, Beth too.
My Aunt Gale.
The flowers, waiting for the water to come up and take them away. I could have totally lost it at this time, but I didn't. Whew....
Also, at 40 steps there is a memorial plaque on one of the benches to my grandmother's brother- nicknamed Bunny- cute huh?
I want to thank my Aunt Norene who donated to both me & my Aunt Gale.
I said it was the 1st walk, I meant here in Newport. There are walks all over the country. Please find one to support.
I'm sure the event was helped by the participation of your family. It was a caring thing to do and I think it's wonderful you were able to do it together.
