Annabelle

Today marks the first birthday of Annabelle Butcher, the daughter of a great friend of mine. Annabelle was born exactly one year today with a severe heart defect, HLHS. Annabelle lived a glorious 8 weeks with us here on earth and is celebrating her first birthday with Jesus today!! In memory of such a sweet angel, her mother, Rebecca asked her family and friends, that if they had been touched by Annabelle, to release balloons to heaven in honor of her on this special day.

While I was preparing lunch for the girls, Abigail took her time preparing a birthday card for Annabelle. After we ate, we went outside, said a prayer, and released them to such a special little girl. Happy Birthday Annabelle!!!

Thank you, sweet friend, for joining us on that special day! The weight of the day was so much easier to bear with support and love from friends like you!

Love you~ Rebecca
