Remembering Sarah On Her Birthday


Sarah's '4th Birthday'
From her mother's heart.

"One afternoon after her diagnosis, Sarah requested that I make her a birthday cake. Although it was not her birthday, we decorated the cake with candles and sang the Happy Birthday song. Her request for cakes continued. Each Monday became the day to celebrate another birthday.  Notice Sarah's bright smile and the twinkle in her eye as she anticipates blowing out the candles."

Sadly, Sarah lost her battle with brain cancer but her sweet innocence and joy in the simple things of life - like blowing out your candles - taught lessons to be remembered for a lifetime.
