On March 22nd last year my world turned upside down. I lost my mom. My mom was more then a mom to me. She was my best friend. We did everything together and I could talk to her about anything. She was my mian suporter. No matter what I did she was always there cheering me on. My mom has always had a heart condition and she was real sick when she passed away. My mom was also trying to make it to my wedding which was on April 24th of last year. She almost made it. I felt so bad about the obituary I ran in the paper when she passed away that I had a memorial run in the paper today. Here is a copy of the memorial I ran in the paper. Since it is a proof I can't really copy the memorial but here is the wording.
In Loving Memory of my mom
Janice M Hoover
09/04/1941 - 03/22/2010
What we have once enjoyed we
can never lose.
All that we love deeply becomes
part of us.
Forever Loved, Forever Missed
Sadly Missed and Never Forgotten.
Stacey and Bill Swancer
Here is a copy of the picture I put in the memorial.


Someone on here gave me this idea and I know Megan did this. After my surgery yesterday I went by the ballon store and I got 3 ballons. I got one for my mom, peanut and one for pumpkin. I am going to go up on Dh's property which is where I have my mom's memorial bench and her ashes scaattered. I am going to let all three ballons go this morning.

Thank you for reading.

It's beautiful Stacey! I'm sure your mom and your babies will love the balloons!

That is beautiful Stacey. I always let balloons go for loved ones and my angels and I write to them on it I think it is very nice of you to do and I hope it brings you some comfort.

That is very beautiful and touching, I think she is smiling down on you today holding your angels in her arms. I love the balloons too. lots of ::hugs:: for you today.

[StaceygirlPa]

Thank you ladies. Katie I am going to write little notes to each one of them and attach it to the ballons.

I just came back from releasing all three ballons. The weather here was just right to release the ballons. All three of them flew so high. We watched them until they went out of sight. I hope my mom catches them and gives them to peanut and pumpkin.

That is so sweet. It made me tear up. I lost my mom 3 years ago and your story makes me want to do the same.

I will wait until the warmer weather gets here and me and my daughter will also send balloons to heaven.

Thanks for the great idea.

You are welcome Terri. I felt better after I released the ballons.
