Tender Moments


I didn't realize how special Valentine's Day was this year until today. You see for Valentine's I gave my kids balloons. Mylee decided to take her balloon with her to her friends house and unfortunately ( or now I think fortunately), her balloon got away and floated into the sky. I was amazed at how Mylee was not upset by this. In fact she had a really positive attitude about it. She said " It's okay because the balloon is going to heaven" then she later commented "I think Grandma Helen likes balloons". This made me smile.
But it wasn't until today that I realized that February 14, 2009 was the day of my Grandma Helen's funeral and that day we all released balloons up into the sky, up to heaven.
( See the photo above)






This is the picture of Mylee with her balloon for Grandma Helen, three years ago the day of her funeral.

Kind of a tender moment for me now.
