Today would be my grandpa's 89th birthday. We lost him in early 2020 (which you may already know if you read my dad- @beststart post today).
The last couple years, we have celebrated his birthday by making my grandma's cheesecake (secret family recipe 🤐), and letting go a balloon to honor his memory and wish him a happy birthday!
So I whipped up some cheesecake and after Sunday family dinner, we all went outside and sang "Happy Birthday" and released the balloon up, up, up... and into a tree 😣
Thankfully, the wind finally took it up, up, and away!
So happy birthday, Grandpa! We miss you and love you!

Very nice, Katie.
Thank you, dad!!
I just read your dad's post, sorry to hear about the loss of your grandpa but it's great to celebrate his birthday with your kids that way. The balloon - what a good idea! Thanks for sharing the story. 😊
You're welcome! Its a fun tradition and a way to bring celebration to a day that could be very sad..
So nice, by that you and kids in your family will always remember your GrandPa
Yes- and the older boys love to help let the balloon go!
Well done, that's so nice of you to keep celebrating every year.

That's nice to remember him like this every year, he must be looking down and feeling proud of his family!
Thank you- I'm sure he is :)
