Happy 17th Birthday to Lisa. I struggled a bit to "hear" her inspiration for how to spend the day. At 17, I'm not so sure spending the day with her mom would still be a thing! Finally decided on a little adventure to a Sunflower Farm. Found one close to home and was joined by Lisa's Aunt Malinda Bissell Yesh and cousin Megan Yesh Bruen youngest daughter Cecilia. This little girl was channeling Lisa's spirit:) We looked at lots of flowers and took plenty of pictures but....she was only smiling in the ones that she told us to take! That is so Lisa! If it wasn't her idea, well, then....it wasn't going to be pretty! Thank You Cecilia and Malinda for celebrating with me.
Mike McMaster and I celebrated with a birthday dinner of Lisa's favorites including a "lemonade" drink, chicken fingers, and steak at Hamburg Pub. We took Lisa and the kids her a few times when she was very young. We followed dinner with a trip to a new ice creamery NautiMi on the River. Lisa was with us in spirit. My attention was drawn to a rack of bracelets and the one I picked up had "Not the worst mother" imprinted on it. Nearby was a piece of art that stated "Say Yes to New Adventures". That's our girl!
How I wish she was still with us to say these things in person. Miss you so much my litte warrior. Love you Lisa.
