Thanks for helping us celebrate Johnny's birthday! I am still amazed at the response we got from everyone. We are definitely loved and supported. We love all of you and are so grateful to have such amazing people surrounding us.
I was a little nervous for his birthday but it was a great day. I made him the "angel bear" cake above. It was a good creative outlet for me. I wish he could have tasted it but we will be able to do that someday. Naturally, right after I finished it started falling apart. :) We had our families over for cake and ice cream and then we kept family tradition and went around the room and told what we love about the birthday boy. We then released lanterns at his graveside. It was quite the adventure. I had to control myself so I didn't burst out into a song from Tangled. We didn't get all of them up but we did get a few to work.
I was so overwhelmed with all the goodness and love in the world. God is good. Life is hard but we can find joy. I am so glad that Johnny came to our family and that he is ours forever. There is no greater gift than that. Happy birthday my sweet, amazing, life-changing son!
