On her birthday

National day

 On Mishelle's birthday the family gathered to celebrate her 7'th. We wrote messages on some helium balloons and sent them up into the sky ( the children hoping she would read them ).   After the ceremony at the cementary, we went home and contiued with cakes and muffins. Even though she is not here in person - she is with us in our hearts and by celebrating her
                                                         birthday like this she will
                                                        continue to be remembered by
                                                        the other children as well.

My father on our National day

  On Norway's national day we started off by decorating Mishelle and my father's place at the cementary before going off to the school to celebrate.  This year it was also our turn to organize the celebration ( Melissa is a 4'th grader and 4'th grade is responsible for this every year ).
In the evening we went to my mothers house, were she had made a delicous cake decorated with the colours of our flag.

Having some fun during treatment

2 people we miss A LOT

 I don't update my blog much anymore, but i just had to say a few words now. This saturday Mishelle Alyson would have celebrated her 7'th !! birthday  -  and in her honour the family will gather to celebrate her with balloons and cakes.  Monday 28'th marks the fourth year since she left for angel duty - and the sence of loss keeps growing inside me. So many questions occupy my mind; " what would she look like, what would be her favourite music, hobby, sport etc.. "  Questions that will follow me the rest of my life and never be answered.   And to make spring even more melancholic, may 16 marks 1 year since my father passed away. IF there is an after-life i know these 2 are together and having fun - but that does not take away my need to hear their voices or see their faces.  They say time heals all wounds... NO it does not!   It just teaches you to live with the open wound in your heart.

True!
