This past Saturday, we gathered to celebrate what would have been Mandi's 25th birthday.
(Click on her name for her story).
We ate lunch as a family and gathered at the park to release 25 orange balloons and 1 purple balloon for her little baby that died with her.
We attached little notes to our balloons. Judah drew her a picture.
I was not at all prepared for how emotional and beautiful it was to see her balloons floating away.
It was beautiful.
Just like her.
Happy Birthday, Mandi.

This was a sweet tribute Kyle, lovely.
Thanks a lot! Right now I am sitting at my desk, eating a Subway and blubbering...in public. That was beautiful. I loved the purple balloon and Judah's picture.
Beautiful idea, beautiful pictures, beautiful blog. Not beautiful= my nose running down my face and me crying into my own mouth.
What a very special beautiful thing to do!
Wow that just made me bawl. How beautiful, judah's picture is adorable. What a memory.
