We had a wonderful evening celebrating Samantha. Her birthday was a few days ago but it was hard for all of us to get together on a week night, so we all got together on Sunday instead. We first wrote notes to Samantha and hooked them to all the balloons. Rachelle read a few of the memories that were written down at her funeral. Then we got to send our notes to Sammie. We do this every year on her birthday and it was neat to share our tradition with everyone. It was special for everyone to release the balloons and watch them float to heaven. Very symbolic and touched a lot of us. Then we got out the watermelon and Rachelle released the butterflies. We spent quite a bit of time chasing the butterflies and catching them. Afterwards we headed to our house for dinner and cupcakes. A very special evening for a very special girl.
