99. Tie a note to a balloon and let it go

One of my friends in my Moms' group introduced me to the blog of Lindsay Jones. Lindsay lost her 4 month old son Ayden to SIDs in August of last year. If you read through her blog, you will see that Lindsay is an amazing woman, an amazing mother. Tomorrow is Ayden's birthday, he would be one. My heart was breaking as I was in the store today looking at balloons. I couldn't stop thinking about the fact that people should be buying balloons that say "Happy Birthday" to celebrate a beautiful one year old boy. I feel so privileged to be able to commemorate Ayden's birthday, and I hope someone finds the balloon and is touched by his story.

Here are a few pictures of us releasing the balloons. I attached a note with his picture, his date of birth and a link to their family blog.
