To Write Their Names in the Sand
A unique memorial opportunity . . .
http://namesinthesand.blogspot.com/
On the south coast of Western Australia is a beach called Mullaloo Point. It is the beautiful, serene location where Carly Dudley will write your baby's name in the sand as a beach memorial.
Carly and her husband Sam gave birth to a baby boy named Christian in January 2007. In August of 2008, Carly had a dream about her son. He was playing on the beach with hissisters, and the children had written their names in the sand.
This powerful dream helped her to create "To Write Their Names in the Sand." She will go to the beach and write your baby's name in the sand (for no charge). She also takes a photograph of the name. If your baby was not named, she will draw a heart. If you choose to purchase the photo, the website gives you instructions (it's less than $20 American). The photo is then emailed to you. There are also other tranquil scenes that Carly has photographed that you can purchase as well.
Carly also co-founded Whispered Support and created an online diary called Water Child during her pregnancy after Christian that is intended to be a companion for those experiencing a pregnancy after loss.
