Get the tissues

My sister's dear friend (my friend too) had to bury her 6 month old baby boy, 6 months ago. She blogs her thoughts and grief and feelings. I feel the spirit every time I open her blog. Yesterday would have been little Wyatt's first birthday. To celebrate his short life, she suggested people attend the temple in his honor and release helium balloons. I feel very honored to have been part of this very special day. Andrea, much love and hugs to you and Wyatt!

Send her some warm wishes if you feel inspired. She is a very special Angel Mom.

  1. Oh my goodness, Eileen. You were right when you said to get the tissues! Thank you for sharing that touching story with us. I sat here for about 30 minutes just weeping and looking at all of their pictures. What a BEAUTIFUL boy and a beautiful family. I'm sure that sight has touched so many people that need that comfort. I admire her!
