Angel Event from 11:30 - 12:00
Tiffany Park, Bryan Tx
October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month and Together We Honor Our Angels.
This is a very special ceremony honoring our tiny angels. October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month. In Bryan College Station we celebrate the lives of babies who were only with us here for a short time, by releasing a butterfly. You and your family are invited if you have experienced a pregnancy or infant loss in your life.
Prior to the butterfly release a community hospital chaplain will speak and lead us in a prayer.
The release of the butterflies will commence our event.

You are also encouraged to bring handmade candles, create special t-shirts, and invite your friends and family to attend with you.

In the folklore of some Native American tribes, the butterfly means change or balance and many believe they bring good luck. The Papago tribe believed that if you catch a butterfly and whisper your secrets to them; the butterfly unable to make a sound, would carry the secret to the great spirits. The spirits greatful that the butterfly was set free would bestow the wish upon the person who made it. This is one reason butterfly releases are so popular today.
In Japan, a butterfly is said to be the personification of a person's soul; whether they be living, dying, or dead. Many cultures view the butterfly as rebirth or renewal.
These representations can be important concepts for an angel family after experiencing the loss of a child. The butterfly to one family may mean a child's soul coming back to visit them while another may view the butterfly as a path for moving on within their "new life" or as a welcoming sign of the birth of another child. With each butterfly released, the individual places their hopes and dreams and deepest desires with the butterfly as they let it go hoping the butterfly carries them to our own personal "Great Spirit".
