A Thousand Words Thursday

I'm sure that many of you followed sweet little Kayleigh and are aware that she went to be with Jesus on May 11th. Sam and I started following her in November and we loved every minute of it. He would often ask, "Momma, can we see if there are new pictures of Kayleigh?"

I had something to send to her family last week and so he included this sweet drawing, which he called "Kayleigh With Wings". (Not bad for a 5-year old, huh?!?)


We also participated in a balloon release. We attached a tag to the balloons with all of Kayleigh's information in hopes of introducing someone else to the 1 pound blessing.

After the balloons were completely out of sight, Sam said with a big smile, "I think they are in Florida now."




We miss you, Kayleigh!

This is absolutely beautiful! I love his photo and you know what I'm sure it was his balloons flying in Florida and then all the way up to heaven to make Kayleigh smile.

That is so sweet and touching. Sam has a huge heart! So do you! I found out about Kayleigh through your blog and would go check on her occasionally. I was so sad when she passed away. Sam did a beautiful job on the drawing. Your photos of the balloon release are stunning.

Often time children teach us how to be compassionate, to love unconditionally and remind us the important things in life.
