Some nights the missing hits harder than others, and there's no reason for it. No anniversary, no trigger, just grief showing up uninvited. If that's tonight for you, we want you to know something simple: what you had was real, and what you're feeling now makes complete sense. You don't have to explain it or minimize it to anyone. If you're carrying this tonight, light a candle for them, or just drop their name below. We'll see it. 💙

Registration is now open and all are invited to get ready to make a difference and have a great time at the 9th annual NOLA Dogs Race to the Rescue 5K for Animal Rescue on Sunday, Oct. 11.

This race takes you through the historic grounds of Lake Lawn Metairie Cemetery, hosted by Heaven’s Pets, where every step you take helps save animals in need.

Since the race benefits the furry and four-legged residents of the city, the organizers are calling on all animal lovers to join the cause and be part of the solution to help the pets of New Orleans. While it’s not a requirement, they ask for participants to commit to raising at least $100 AND if you hit $250 or more, your registration is FREE. Whether you join in for the chip-timed race or choose the virtual option, your participation will directly support rescue efforts.
