Jacob spend much of last week talking about Grandpa Shumway and how he wished he could talk to hm. We told him that he could just talk to him, but he was confused about talking to him vs praying to him. So, we followed some great advice from Grandma Shumway and we attached our messages to Grandpa to a helium filled balloon and sent it straight up! It was sweet to see Jacob so excited as he told me the very things he wanted me to write to grandpa. He expressed all that was in his heart in many little messages and we set it off at dawn a few weeks ago. I think it should be something we do as often as possible, but always on the 24th of July (the anniversary of Dad's passing) so that we can keep him in our fore thoughts. We miss you Dad! Hope you liked the balloon.
