A Family Memory





Not to prolong the blog about Jael, but I wanted to share a few photos of our day. Shane had a great idea that we find a special place to release the balloons. One of my very favorite spots is Maple Bay. The view of the ocean is so peaceful and beautiful. It was a very fitting place to release our balloons. As we got back in our van, and started to drive up the hill, a baby deer was standing in the middle of the road. It made us all smile and wipe away the tears.

Hey Lori! I just wanted to let you know that Joshua and I released a balloon for Jael. The balloon was fit for a princess, which is what she is! Love you guys!

One of my favorite places is Maple Bay as well. How wonderful to release Jael's balloons from the dock. Our two pink balloons also went straight up from our house. Dad remarked how they went up into the heavens. Only two pink dots could be seen. How wonderful.
Love, Mom

The pictures are priceless...and yes that baby deer..how priceless that God would send just at the right time, right place and for the right people to see. We placed Jael's balloon at her memorial site on her birthday and yes what a peaceful place it was just to be quiet and still and remember that God has the answers..we hurt deeply and grieve for Jael and you....love to all...we love you
