Light the Night

The girls and i headed to Frisco Saturday for a Light the Night walk in honor of Kim Irvin. It was held at Dr. pepper park...I had never been there, really nice place.It was a goodtime and we felt so honored to have been able to hang out with the Irvin clan, all day really!  (they had a get together that afternoon before heading to frisco). Blake got tired and had to ride on his dads shoulders most of the way.  We all had red balloons, while survivors had white and those who lost loved ones had gold.  When we got to the end and keith cut his and let it go, I got a bit teary eyed.  the girls of course did not understand the symbolism. It has been 2 years now since Kim passed away and i honestly do not know how keith does it. Cole seems to be doing ok and blake is so young that he just does not understand, but it breaks my heart to be with maddie, she just looks so sad sometimes.  she has gotten a lot "happier" each year and does not seem to shy away from things as much, but she still does not like unfamiliar situations and you can see the fear in her eyes.  when she is with me and i catch her thinking....i always wonder what she is thinking about, I really like spending times with maddie and look forward to her hanging with us on those girl scout days...
