Abby's 2nd Birthday in Heaven

I just wanted to share some pics from Abby's 2nd birthday in Heaven. We went to the cemetery on Thanksgiving Day (two days before her birthday) to place a balloon on her grave. Someone had already left her a flower ...



We left town the next morning for Brown County State Park with our l/c. We found a little florist in town and had a dozen pink and white balloons filled with helium then hiked to the highest point in the park to have our own little balloon release. The sun was shining and it was a perfectly blue sky with just a few white, whispy clouds scattered throughout it. It was so peaceful up there, just the three of us, the crisp November air, and memories of our sweet, baby girl ...



Thanks for letting me share and for remembering my sweet Abby with me!

PS - I am also sharing some pics of the tree that was planted in her memory near my parents condo. The site wouldn't let me include them in my original post. The stone reads, "Those we have held in our arms for a little while, we hold in our hearts forever" and is engraved, "In Memory of Abigail G. Werner, November 29, 2006." The tree was planted in honor of her second birthday.
