Bri will be celebrating her 3rd birthday (April 12) in heaven this year. As the day approaches I don't know how it will be for us here on earth. I've had several good crying days this week, it's like I have this cloud hanging over my head and all of a sudden the sadness starts raining down on me. We will be going to mass on Sunday with friends and on Monday Jerry is going to get his tattoo of Bri's little feet on his forearm. We are also planning on taking some much-needed items to a home in Orlando that takes care of "atypical" children and follow up with a balloon release in Bri's honor.
We miss your gorgeous smiling face so very much Bri.
What a meaningful and honoring way to celebrate sweet Bri's third birthday. Hoping for peace and precious memories to fill you all while you celebrate your amazing daughter.
ReplyDeleteGod bless and keep you during these difficult days.
The time leading up to our children's birthdays is so hard.... All you can do is just take each minute as it comes. Do whatever feels right to celebrate the gift of her life. Wishing you strength to get through this time. (I'd also like to add that my birthday is the 12th too, and I think it's really neat that we share that day.)
