Did you just love all the balloons all your loved one's sent to you in heaven for your first birthday? Thanks to your auntie Katie for organizing the First Annual Sunshine for Owen balloon launch on February 12, 2013. I know you met Katie when you were just over a week old. I am so thankful she was able to meet you.
Thanks to all of you across the country that sent balloons to Owen in heaven. We were all SO touched by your love and support. It really meant a lot. It warmed our hearts on a day where we just felt so empty. Thank you thank you thank you.
Here are pictures from the event:

Thanks to all of you who sent us cards, flowers and other reminders of our angel in heaven. It was so nice to feel so much love and support on one of the hardest days we have faced since Owen went to be with God.
Owen, Connor and Liam really enjoyed sending balloons to you in heaven on your birthday. It was very windy on your birthday at the cemetary but we managed to send a few balloons up your way! Their loving daycare that knew you so well also sent balloons up to you after Connor and Liam returned to school. We were so touched that they had the whole daycare participate in this event to remember your sunshine soul. Finally, over the weekend we sent up lanterns with some other family in town.
We are now down at Disney celebrating your life and getting away for a bit. It is amazing how much Liam misses you. Out of nowhere today he mentioned things you would have liked. While we were swimming, he pointed to the other pool and said you would have loved that pool because it was so big. When we were eating cookies after dinner, Connor and Liam both said you would have loved chocolate chip and would have eaten so many cookies! Though Connor was quick to point out that your mouth was pretty small so it would have taken you a lot of bites :) While we were on a ride at Disney today and Liam said he wanted to give the Pirates a hug, he then told me he wanted to give you a hug.
What I wouldn't give to give you a hug today, or any day. One last hug. One last kiss. I miss you more than I can ever express but I know you feel my love and the love of all that love you up in heaven.
Until we meet again face to face.
I love you to heaven and back.
Love,
