Happy Birthday Ellie

I am sort of lost with words right now! One thing I know is that each year I miss Ellie more and more! January is a rough month for me (her birthday) as is April (her anniversary). I go through spurts where I have very happy thoughts and then really sad thoughts too. Therefore, a solution for me = journal about it . I try to do this before I go to bed and am in the middle of writing Ellie a letter. It really helps to do this and I plan to make it a bi-annual thing. I hope to write to her on her birthday and her anniversary every year and save the letters for Gabby to read one day when she understands fully that Ellie is in heaven. Right now she knows her by picture throughout the house. She still thinks that her birthday party is at the RMH every year, but has yet to figure out that she is not in attendance in person...but most definitely in spirit! I hope to publish Ellie's birthday letter soon for you all to see. In the meantime, here are some pictures from her breakfast this year. As always...my family are friends are wonderful and it was a great day!
