This weekend, in between torrential down pours, we headed to the park and said our good byes to Kenzie. I let everyone have a chance to write down what they wanted to say. Maddie drew a picture of her and her sister Kenzie. Codi was sweet and wished her well. Daddy wanted her to know she would always be in his heart. But it was Carter who broke my heart. Carter couldn't write anything. All he could do was cry and ask me to let his balloon go for him.
The sky was gorgeous with fluffy clouds ready to release their droplets at any second. We heard thunder in the distance and then it was quiet. In fact, it was eerily quiet. With a gentle breeze we let our little red hearts and messages go....up, up, up they climbed and headed South over Black Mountain. We watched them float until we couldn't make out the little specks anymore. It was beautiful and sad.
I wish I could tell you that it healed my heart...but it didn't.
Samantha is in Texas, so she couldn't be there to release a balloon. But she did send me this beautiful song to help me through. Love you to the moon and back Sissy!
