hey everyone.today was nathans first day of second grade. summer defintley went by too fast. he was reallly not ready for school to start so quickly and i can't believe he's in second grade when did this happen?

today would also be dans 33rd birthday so it's been kinda a emotional day for us. we're getting through though. i found this poem i thought was really pretty. and nathan sent his message balloons like he always does it really seems to help him feel connected to his dad still.

Birthdays In Heaven

Are there birthdays in Heaven?
Does the angel blow his horn?
Announcing to everybody
That this is the day you were born?

Can the stars be your balloons
And angel food your cake?
Presents wrapped in moonbeams
All the angels helped to make.

Birthdays meant so much to you
They were always a big deal
Birthday presents, lots of friends
And perhaps a special meal.

So I'll whisper a little prayer today
Asking everyone up above
To sing you a Happy Birthday song
And give you all my love.
