Anniversary Celebration

During the week leading up to Matthew's one year anniversary, people anonymously dropped off frog stuff for my mom. T collected frog stuff, so they hold a special meaning for my family. If you come to our house today, you'll see little frogs placed throughout.

Every year on the anniversary of T's passing, our family meets at the cemetery. We write notes to him on green Mylar balloons and send them up. The first year we did this, it was actually pretty hilarious, because Hannah's refused to float upwards. It just floated up a little bit, kind of hovered for a few seconds, and then floated back down. She could not get it to fly for anything. We all joked that Matthew was holding it down, because he always gave her such a hard time.
