Picnic

Back in August Linda invited some friends and family to a picnic at the beach next to Michelle's tree. It was a beautiful late August day - not too hot, not too cold...perfect for a picnic. We talked about Michelle and about life in general, ate lots of watermelon and let the kids all play. Linda brought a big bunch of balloons with her and we all wrote messages on them and released them up to Michelle in heaven. It was a bittersweet day - nice to get together, but sad because of the reason we were there. I was however pleasantly surprised to find that all the ornaments were still on her tree!
