March 23, 2015- Tristan would be 16 years old today!

So Tristan loved giving gifts so much, that on his last outing with his Grandma and Grandpa Ray, he went to the store, able to pick out whatever he wanted; he chose party supplies and gifts for his siblings- wrapping paper and all. We have therefore made it a tradition that on his birthday, all the kids get a gift. This afternoon, we’ll take flowers to his memorial stone, and tonight, we’ll have a birthday cake and open gifts. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate him.

Happy Birthday, T. I love you. I miss you so much.

P.S. Thank you to those few precious people who remember Tristan with us on this day every year. We appreciate the thoughtfulness more than you know.
