This Thursday, April 22nd, will be five years since our little baby Miles went to be with Jesus. It is so hard to believe it has been that long! Each year we go and do something special as a family on his Heaven day…and this year we wanted to do it up BIG!!!! So…we are leaving in the morning for Disney World! We are going to do lots of things to incorporate the memory of our little Miles into the trip. We are eating at the Coral Reef Restaurant (Miles loved his aquarium!) we will release Mickey balloons in honor of him, and we will spend some time talking with Mason & Millie about their brother. Mason has already decided that he gets to pick out Miles’ balloon!
It is so bittersweet to take a trip like this without him. There should be three little kids running through the park with matching Mickey ears. But, even though he isn’t with us, we still plan on making him a big part of this trip!
As many of you know, on Miles’ Heaven day, we like to do something good & unexpected for others…and we would love it if you joined us again this year! It could be paying for the food for the person behind you in the drive through line, taking balloons to the elderly in the nursing home, donating to March of Dimes, etc. He was so good to us…and we want to share that goodness with others! If you decide to do something, would you please leave a comment here or by sending me an e-mail to info@acrossthemilesphotography.com? I would appreciate it!!! Then, I can print them and save them!
On a business side note, I will be away from the office & my computer until April 26th. I will return e-mails once I arrive! 🙂
Little Miles…you are so very loved and missed!!!!! I hope you enjoy your Mickey balloons! You have truly been one of the greatest gifts I have ever been given. I love you so very much. You will always be my sweet baby boy.
I first started visiting your blog while your boys and Cydney were in the NICU together. (childhood friend of her parents) I am now the mommy to twin 1 year old girls… and marvel at your strengh. Loosing a baby must be so hard, and loosing a twin must be even harder. May God continue giving you strength and grace.
