Today is the anniversary of Erica's death 4 yrs ago. It was a pretty low key week for us. We went to the gravesite this past weekend and took down the winter/Christmas decorations. We'll wait a little while and get some new decorations up there. On Monday, the anniversary day that she stopped breathing, I was sitting in our lounge at work (the same place that I was notified by the cop) at the same time that it would have happened. I thought to myself that I would probably pee myself of burst out bawling if there was a knock at the door at that time. It's hard to relive those memories but also nice. Today at work many people talked to me about her, that was nice.

The above site is a video that was sent to me a long time ago Titled "99 Balloons"...you just have to watch it. After I watched it I figured it out and realized that Erica was alive for 99 days so that made it even more touching. If that site doesn't work, let me know and I can just email it to you.
