We were all in disbelief that it could really be 5 years ago that you joined our family. We miss you still but know you are always watching over us! We hope you had a wonderful birthday in heaven. We had a nice day celebrating you down here.
First, there was a knock on the door at 8 in morning. I answered it and it was a friend with a cheesecake, blue candles and a blue, solar pinwheel. Then a few hours later another knock at the door, I answered and it was 3 friends with dinner and flowers in hand. (It took me until after they left to realize it was the young women's presidency that I work with! I couldn't figure out why our presidency meeting had been canceled.) They came in and saw the strawberry mess I was making and stayed and hulled and cut all my strawberries for jam, while I finished Owen's bath. I was so overwhelmed with gratitude!
Later that afternoon I got to take pictures of this little angel. It worked out perfect for me to do this on your birthday! It was a perfect gift in your name for this family...I hope anyway ;)
I know this is super late and I am glad you know we always celebrate on time, the blogging is the only thing that is late :)
We got two cakes to celebrate you this year!
Believe is a word I have come to love in the last 7 years.
We believe we will see you again....one day.
We went to visit your spot.
We are so blessed that others remember your birthday too and bring cute things to decorate.
Later that evening more flowers came.
This also came just in time for your birthday! I asked a very talented friend to do this. It is perfect! (Thank you for whoever went behind my back and paid for it!)
This wall was all made up from love of many. We know where you are and that you are doing the Lord's work. We still miss you but this is a great reminder of the plan and what we have to work for.
Abby won the war to light your candles ;)
We love you and love celebrating those special days for you and knowing you are truly a part of our family! We love you and are so excited for that day we will meet again.
Love Mom and the family
