We bought pink balloons on February 6th, her due date, to send to Sydney in heaven. We bought two extra ones for Liam to bring home because that was the only way we could convince him that it was ok to release the others, ha. So, I am sure you will all agree with us how bizzare it is that these two pink balloons are still flying high up at the ceiling in our house 20 days later. We were told the helium balloons we bought would last 4-6 hours, which didn't matter to us because they were going up into the sky purposely anyway...That was 20 days ago. And when we returned from the vet ER last night (see our family blog for details), imagine our surprise and goose bumps when we found one of the balloons floating over her urn at the opposite end of the room. Ian is excited to think that these balloons are being "held up" long enough for lent until Easter, to show us hope in our suffering. Maybe, maybe not. I would love to think that God would give us a blessing like that to smile at and laugh about. We will see...20 days going strong. (please excuse Emmett's napping blanket atop the armoire...so fashionable, right?)

Happy Birthday my dear sweet friend. You and Ian have been in my heart and mind alot. I,m sorry I have not written or called you sooner but I honestly did not know what to say. There really are no words!
I tell you that grief is hard and it sucks and it is never easy, but God has this amazing way of taken small things like a song, or a book or even balloons to let us know that our love ones are at peace and with him.
Alyssa, I love you and have been very touched by your words on this blog. Thank you for being so honest and real.
Happy Birthday!! I didn't realize that you and Jason share the same birthday until I read your mom's blog!!
You go, God. :)
Lyssa, that is totally BIZARRE! I don't know how you can look at that and NOT see it as a sign. LOVE it! Enjoy those balloons. What a sweet gift to take some joy in right now.
