We planted this dogwood tree on Emily's birthday last year, so it was special to see the first blooms on it this spring.
This was our last picnic on the Blueridge Parkway together October 2007. Tomorrow would have been her 15th birthday.
Emily was one of a kind. She was not defined by her Down syndrome or her illnesses but by the love she offered to family and friends. Although originally created to communicate her health status to prayer warriors, this blog is now a tribute to the impact she had on our lives.
