Ami's birthday just passed.
I want to thank everyone who emailed me with such wonderful uplifting messages last week when my daughter's birthday came and went. I did not get many calls as it is now 4 birthdays gone by. I did not know what to do as all summer i have been struggling with health issues connected to my inner ear problems (vertigo, nausea, etc.) I could not do the big family thing so just invited her best friend and my grandkids and my daughter over. John and I prepared Indian food. We wrote messages on helium balloons and we all went up the hill at the back of the house and released them into the setting sunset. It was all that was needed. Ami's spirit was there and her children felt good, what more can I ask. Now I can try to pin down some sort of treatment for the dizziness issues and try to carry on as best i can. Love you my girl, always and forever till we meet again.

I am sorry I did not remember Ami\'s birthday. I think I mentioned that dates are beyond my memory. It am glad that you were able to spend the day with family and Ami\'s friend.
Nose Hill is a wonderful place to release balloons! I wish I could have been there to see them rise in to the heavens.
Love and tight hugs, M
Four birthdays is hard to imagine. Each one so different. It\'s special to share this one with Ami\'s friend, your grandkids and daughter.
I hope your dizziness can be resolved soon.
Birthday wishes for dearest Ami.
XOXO, Debbie
What you planned sounded just perfect and I have no doubt that Ami feels ALL the love.
Please take care and I have no doubt you are trying your best with your health issues. That dizziness is the pits and I do hope you can find some relief.
Understanding how challenging these tender days can BE and always it\'s a huge exhale for me when they are over...
Loving care dear Rose,
XO Joanie
Rose, You honored Ami is such a special way with your gathering. I salute you for accomplishing it. I hope you are able to get some answers regarding your health, it makes our struggle more difficult when we are not feeling well. Remembering we are in this together and know that we all understand. Hugs, Kathy
I too am sorry I missed Ami\'s birthday. I am just not good with dates. I too feel that Ami knew how much she is missed and loved. With the health problems you are having, it is amazing you accomplished so much. You have my love and prayers regarding your health issues.
Sending you and Ami love,

I am sorry, that I missed Ami\'s birthday, as well. I guess being 69 yrs. old now, explains my memory problems, lol.
I loved the way you honored her birthday!! I am sure the balloon release was spectacular!!
Vertigo is a horrible thing to have to deal with. I hope you get some relief soon..
