A good laugh to begin a hard day

We had Zoë's balloons refilled today.  And we bought some new ones,
too.  Actually we bought so many they would not all fit in the Rav4. 
We secured 6 on the roof racks.  Those six were the big ones.  Each
balloon was a letter 1-0-2-2-1-1 for Zoë's birthday.  We started to drive
away slowly.  A mile or so down the road, I heard a pop!  And a car
horn honk.  A woman driving a volvo pulled up along side of us and yelled
out her window, "You're losing your balloons!"  Needless to say that I lost
my balloons a long time ago.  A moment passed before another popping noise
and another balloon broke from its bondage and drifted skyward.  By now, it
wasn't much longer before all six balloons broke free and floated
away.   Those six balloons did what we intended them to day, only two
days early.

oh Zeppo! My heart aches everday of your journey. Working at Dana Farber I thought I was strong as i deal with the passing of people everday but Zoe has touched my life so much, I cry everytime I think of her! You and Laura are so strong and a great set of parents. May her memory be eternal which we know it will and what a great weekend to honour her but Easter Weekend! She celebrates with a our Lord as we celebrate the Resurrection.

Please know that a stranger...ME...is praying for you and your family. I torture myself and cry big, loud sobs when I read your posts. I am so sorry for the loss of your little angel.
