My weekend was just ruined...
My local support group has an annual walk to remember in memory of all the babies gone too soon. I've never attended the walk and i decided i would join this year. The registration and the whole event is completely free and you can have friends and family come along. Its a kid friendly event, so thats a plus.
Long story short, i asked 2 of my cousins if they would join me along with their kids because i really wanted to do this. Last year i had a balloon release of my own but this year i was 3 days away from my due date so i didnt do anything in memory of my daughter. Right from the beginning they were excited and down to go. I asked them several times because i had to register in order to attend, and every single time they said yes. The event is tomorrow and i just get a text now saying that they decided they don't want to go anymore cause their husbands have something else planned. Im not mad, but im hurt. I've been asking them for the past 2 weeks and they've said yes all along. What hurts me more is that these are the people that promised to always keep my daughter's memory alive and they rarely mention her now. Im not asking for much, the whole event is only an hour and a half long, if that.
Im so hurt. I want to cry. It makes me not want to go. I just want to crawl under a rock and cry.

@excitedforoctober my husband and son were gonna join me anyway, but we were looking forward to having family join us.
@debs I hope you don't mind me asking but what happened to your lo? I can't even imagine going through that I'm 31 weeks right now so scary to think that anything can happen. And I'm also very sorry for your loss.
@perly I hope whatever you end up doing you have a great weekend
