28 White Balloons

Friday was Eben's birthday. We went to NC for the weekend to spend it with family. It was ruff , but good. We took 28 white balloons, the family wrote messages on them and we released them at Eben's grave. Eben would have been 28.

We miss you so much.

Memorial Day

We remembered Eben. ( He wasn't in the military, but he was on our minds today). His birthday is coming soon and will be very hard for us.
Eben living life.Jonah and Mason, my nephew, played in the pool today. It was freezing, but they still got in and had a blast. Jonah actually swam for the first time. He is a fish.
My teenager, Shelby. Too old to go into the pool now. :o)

working on Eben's quilt

I just finished quilting Eben's quilt. Here is a picture of the back. It is also made of Eben's clothes. The black square is part of his motorcycle jacket. All is needed is the boarder now.
