Before the party I had went out and put up a new flower arrangement for Carleigh just for her birthday. I really loved how it turned out.
After everyone had gathered around her headstone, we all sang Happy Birthday to her and then we released our balloons. We watched as they slowly floated away until you couldn't see them anymore. Even the horses were present for the balloon release. That seemed pretty fitting seeing how they were present for the day of her funeral and almost every visit since.
After the balloon release everyone stayed for a little bit longer and talked. Then one by one we said our goodbyes to each other and to Carleigh. I always love to see Kyndra's interactions at the cemetery. They make my heart melt!

I'll love you always my little girl!
