On Kellen's actual birthday Wes unfortunately had to work and we weren't able to do anything. To be honest, it was a rough day for me. I was mixed with grief and joy over the life Kellen had. I was elated with the birth of Mason yet deep down I am still grieving the brother he would never know... It's a weird emotional state to be in. And I'm not sure it ever fully goes away..
So on what I call Kellen's 'death day' (Jan. 29th) our immediate families (the ones who could make it) released balloons at Kellen's grave. As I stood watching the balloons go higher and higher and eventually disappearing I felt an odd sense of peace.
Afterwards Weston, Mason and I visited an aquarium to celebrate Kellen's life. We wanted to do something fun as a family in remembrance.
