Emily's Birthday

Last night on top of 9990' looking at Emily's flag. Hopefully it will still be there this winter when you hike up and ski the crest. You will have a chance to say hi too.


On August 13th the boys and I did nothing for Emily's birthday. In fact, they did not realize it was on that day. Liam did talk about her more that day which I thought was unusual. However, we did have a visitor.
That day a black butterfly got into the house and was flying around the living room. We have a lot of butterflies in the yard but one has never been in the house. The boy liked seeing it fly around and would acknowledge its presents now and then during the day to Allie or me.
When I was going to bed I notice it had made its way up to my bedroom and I went to sleep.
The boys came up early the next morning to wake me up and Liam said the butterfly is dead. In fact, it had died that night and was lying on the floor at the door to my room.

Appreciate everyday and the true friends you have in it.

Love, Pete, Mason, and Liam
