Rachel's Birthday

Rachel would have been five this year. It is unbelievable that this is the second birthday that we have celebrated without her. And what made the day harder was that we couldn't be with Amy and her family either. We went to the cemetery with my parents and Michael's family to send Rach some balloons and let her know how much we miss her. I feel celebrating this day is so important because I want her cousins to know all about her and always feel like she is still a part of our family. Callie is getting older and asking more questions and the simple answers aren't working as well anymore. How do you explain cancer and death to a three year old?Cade doesn't quite grasp that this is a somber place and that we were all kind of sad. He always cheers us up in his own little Cade way. He just can't resist a good time.
