Today our sweet Tim would have been 40. We wanted to have a celebration of his life and the beautiful gift he gave us all by knowing him. There were plenty of tears but also a lot of fun and wonderful remembrances of him. We miss him so much and not a day goes by that we don't think of him and long for just one more bear hug from him. Although our hearts are sad we know that Tim is having the most fantastic birthday celebration ever in heaven! I mean who wouldn't want to spend their birthday walking streets of gold in the most magnificent place you could ever imagine. I'm pretty sure that God knows how to throw the very best party.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIM!!
A friend of Janey's from work made this beautiful cake to celebrate Tim's special day.
Janey & Dave had been wanting to repot some of the plants that were given by friends and family for Tim's home going service so the boys helped. Anything that involves dirt is exciting for them.
The boys went for a ride in Uncle Tim's mustang. When they got back Josh said he saw the most incredible thing he's ever seen- it was the sunset. He said "Mommy I wish you had been there to take a picture, it was soooo beautiful."
We sang Happy Birthday to Tim and ate some yummy cake. Josh said we all had to look up when we sang Happy Birthday because Tim was up in heaven. That made me and Janey cry our way through the song.
At the end of the evening the boys all got to release balloons up to heaven for Tim. The wind was blowing just right and the balloons floated their way right up through the sky and for sure Tim was able to grab them from heaven.
Reading this just brought tears to my eyes. What a great way to celebrate Tim's birthday. I loved Josh's comments and that they rode in the mustang. Definitely a day to remember.
