Hello All Our Family & Friends,
We had a little birthday party for Brenna on January 5. It was certainly a very cold day-especially when the sun slipped behind the Oquirhh Mountains. Gordon offered a beautiful prayer to let Brenna know we were thinking about her the whole day and then we released purple balloons, just like at her funeral. It was a beautiful sight and I am sure she loved it all over again! We had cheesecake-Brenna’s favorite and last thing she swallowed. We were very pleased with the evening and we are planning to do it every year on her birthday.
Gordon and I were discussing all the 5’s in our life. Brenna was born on Jan. 5th ,1993. She was diagnosed on April 25th , 2002 (Yes! There’s a 5 in that too!) She was released from the hospital on June 5th , 2002. She had 5 months of chemo. Her tumor shrinking celebration was her “Shrinko de Mayo” party (ya know, May 5th , 2004) She went to heaven on Nov. 5th , 2006 We have 5 wonderful kids. Racquel came from a family of 5 kids. Gordon’s parents have 15 grandkids. Jordan gets paid $5 for each A. I think that is our new special number. So if I were on ‘Deal Or No Deal,’ I’d pick case number 5. I’m sure it would be the $million.
Thanks to all who have been so thoughtful to our family and showed love and concern for us these past few months.. Even a little note brings a smile to our faces. Hint, Hint. We love you all!
