I am trying to play catch up and have been meaning to write this entry for a couple months. My youngest sister Nicole passed away 4 years ago on Aug.31. It was the day before her 15th birthday (September 1st). Each year my family goes to the cemetery and celebrates her birthday by writing her a note and tying it to a helium balloon. We then sing Happy Birthday to her and send our notes off up to "heaven" for her to read. I am sure the people driving past the cemetery while we are doing this probably wonder what is going on, but I love this tradition my mom started. It gives our family the opportunity to continue celebrating Nicole's life each year and let her know how we feel about her. We miss you and love you Nicole.
