How do you celebrate a 15th birthday when in your mind he's forever
3? This year we're doing things different. For the first time since he
passed away we will not be having a balloon release for Colt's
birthday. Will we have one next year? I don't know, maybe. This year
his birthday falls on a Saturday so we get to spend the whole entire day
as a family. I personally wanted to head to Disney World but taking
off of school and work just wasn't going to work this year. So, Joey
and I decided to surprise the kids with season passes to Six Flags Over
Texas and Hurricane Harbor! Saturday we'll be headed there for the
day! It's Fright Fest season so that should be interesting! Some of
our tribe, who also love Colt, will be meeting us there to celebrate for
the day!
One of the reasons we decided to do something
different is because there are just some years we don't feel up to it.
There are times we just want to do our own thing, but feel obligated to
entertain others. This year we're doing our thing. We want this day
to be full of laughs and memories, and this year we're throwing in a
little fright and maybe some zombies and clowns! Who knows!
This
year our lives also seem a little different. Our relationships are
different, our tribe is different, our outlook is different, and we are
just different. And my priority are the little faces under our roof
and their happiness! If laughter and fun is celebrating Colt's birthday
with some zombies, then that's what we'll do!
