A Celebration of Life

A party if a glorious event. It brings friends and family together. Laughter and conversation run through the walls of the house that buckles at the seams because so many people are there. The burning charcoal floats through the air and carries the sweet smell of baby back ribs, corn on the cob, and jumbo shrimp through the groups of people. Outside the boys are in a heated game of basketball and the kids are jumping, running, climbing, and swinging on the jungle gyms and trampolines. There is music bouncing off of the speakers and echoing through the masses. Some people are singing and dancing others are enjoying the music.

What is the reason for this gathering? Its for a special person that touched every person that filled that house. On June 28, a little girl was born. A little girl that would grow up to be this trusting, loving, caring, sister, friend, mom, and loved one. Every year for her birthday we would end up at a loud, crazy, night club to do what she loved to do: dance! After shutting the club down we ended up at Denny's or IHOP or the closest food joint that was still open. We took over the restaurant and settled our cravings in hopes of not waking up in the morning too sick. This party included all that she would loved.......food, music, friends, and family! I can't wait to have another celebration for her next year!
