Addi's birthday was Saturday. Although we couldn't celebrate with her, we did celebrate her precious life with her family. We got Marissa all girlied up. Addi loved the color pink and she loved BIG bows so we painted Marissa's nails for the first time and put on the biggest bow we owned. Marissa loved it!
I wondered if bringing kids would be appropriate for this occasion but was glad they came. Nate had a really hard time letting his balloon go. We had to remind him that Addi needed balloons in Heaven for her birthday before he would release his. He finally released it, his trailed far behind the rest of the balloons. Nate did not mention anything else about it that day....
...but that night as I was putting him down to bed he said a little prayer that ended like this "And God, you know you have to take care of Addi, she is just a little girl. We sent her some special balloons for her birthday party today that you are throwing her. Don't let them pop and scare her. I mean it!".
I sure do love that kid. I love his views of Heaven and of God. I love his compassion for sweet little Addi.
Happy Birthday, Addi!!!
