It is hard to believe that it has already been a year since we lost our sweet boys. The days approaching their first birthday were incredibly difficult ones as we prepared to celebrate their memory. Eldon and I decorated their plot. Because it was December it was important that they have a Christmas tree and gifts, but we also needed the balloons for all to know it was their birthday. On their big day, we a balloon release in their honor. "Sending our love to Heaven". In good Seals' family fashion it became a competition to see whose balloon could reach Heaven first. It was actually quite sweet and entertaining and definitely lifted the somber mood.
Following the balloon release, family and friends joined us for dinner at our home. It was a very sweet day and I am incredibly grateful for everyone who supported us, both on Ethan and Tommy's birthday and over the past year. The love and support we received has made all the difference in the world to us, and we know that we are truly blessed with incredibly people in our lives. Thank you to everyone and Happy Birthday to my sweet darlings!
