Yesterday would have been Cherrie's 50th birthday. If you don't know, Michael's sister, Cherrie passed away in August 2008. We all went to the cemetery in White Bear Lake to celebrate her birthday with her. Michael read aloud a poem that he wrote and we released 50 balloons, mostly purple, which was Cherrie's favorite color. Yesterday was so cold and extremely windy so when we let the balloons go, some of the flew right off into the tree. We then went to eat at Donatelli's. It wasn't a sad moment for me but a happy one to celebrate Cherrie's life. My grandma passed away less than a month before Cherrie and her birthday would have been today and she would be turning 96! Happy Birthday Cherrie and Grandma. We love and miss you.

What a wonderful way to remember Cherrie ~ Michael has a special family.
We talked about Grandma yesterday, too, and shed a few tears...
Happy Birthday Grandma and Cherrie!
