Remembering

Today we went to the Children's Garden with Christina and Jackson and our friend Jenna from work and her baby Luke. The Children's Garden has this really big open field and since it was breezy today Christina brought kites for the kids to fly.
The neat thing about that is that today would have been my cousin John's 30th birthday. John passed away last year after a five year fight with a very aggressive brain tumor but one thing I always remember about him was how he loved to fly kites. Our families went to Kiawah every year and John would always bring his kite to fly on the beach. Over the years he got pretty good and his kites got pretty fancy. He was always trying to do new tricks with his kites and I think we were all entertained watching him.
So today when Christina pulled out the kites I immediately of John and thought it was a perfect way to remember him...flying a kite on his birthday!
