Sooo, Garrett's birthday is coming up next week.
We've been thinking about what to do to celebrate and remember. He would have been 8 years old this year!
Maura, naturally, thinks we should get a bunny because when you turn 8 you get baptized and you get a bunny.
Dallin wants to gather some friends and have a marsh-mallow gun fight.
They both agree on the cake and ice cream part of a celebration.
I have a movie my sister made of Garrett. I have never watched it.
It's been sitting in a little box with other things that belong to Garrett. Pictures, a favorite shirt, pieces of his favorite blanket, school work, trophies, and so forth. It's been nagging at me for a long time. I've always felt guilty that I haven't watched it.
She gave it to me right after Garrett died. I think it is a montage of pictures with music. I think we are going to watch it. It's been three years. I can do this. I know I'm going to cry and I'm okay with that. I'm actually pretty excited. I've thought about watching it several times and I've decided I'm going to wait until his birthday.
Now all we have to do is decide on what kind of cake to make...
Wish us luck!

Happy Birthday to Garrett! We think of him, too. I'll bet he had a great day and I just wonder if he DID get a bunny?? :) I am thinking of you, too, Bekki. I hope you are all doing well!
Thinking of Garrett and your family at this time. We enjoy seeing the little happenings going on where you are. Keep posting.
You are so brave and a wonderful mom. We think about you all the time. I am sure Garrett had a wonderful time watching the marshmallow fights. Hugs to you all.
