12 May Happy 29th Birthday Christina!

For Carol, mothers day and Christina’s birthday have always fit together beautifully with one complimenting the other. This is one of my favorite photos of them both.

Ever since 1986, May the 12th has been a very special date for our family. Capturing our hearts with her sparkling blue eyes and precious smile, Christina forever changed mine and Carols lives from the day she was born and she continues to impact our family every day.

Birthday affirmations have always been a big part of our families birthday celebrations and Christina was one of the most enthusiastic participants. Today our family celebrates and affirms Christina without her physical presence but her spirit has never been more alive in each of us. Her impact and inspiration is immeasurable and we have never been more grateful for her having lived her life so as to inspire each of us to carry on her legacy of love, joy, courage and faith.

Happy Birthday Christina!

“The things we do outlast our mortality. The things we do are like monuments that people build to honor heroes after they’ve died. They’re like the pyramids that the Egyptians built to honor the pharaohs. Only instead of being made of stone, they’re made out of the memories people have of you.” R.J. Palacio, Wonder
