Today, 8/31/25, would have been Lisa's 21st birthday. It is also the day that we will gather with friends and family for our end-of-summer Labor Day party. To celebrate Lisa, her godfather, Mr. Matt will be making Baby Doll shots so we can all raise a toast in her honor.
Like always, I’ve been thinking about Lisa-- wondering who she'd be today, and looking for signs that she's still with us. In the past two weeks, I've taken a few pictures that show the ways she’s made her presence known.
Two weeks ago, I went to a doctor’s appointment and noticed they had finally added a TV in the waiting room. I caught my breath when I saw that Beauty and the Beast was playing---one of Lisa's favorites. I smiled as the memories came flooding back. I snuck a couple of photos of the screen, just trying to capture the moment. I knew this was Lisa "sending me a sign". Even more remarkable was the closed captioning I had captured in the pictures.
And then—the icing on the cake, literally. While shopping at Costco for the party, I was talking to Mike about what dessert Lisa would've wanted. I mentioned that Chrissy suggested a Sanders Bumpy Cake, and I asked him what he thought. Before he could answer, I turned the corner and there it was: Sanders Bumpy Cake. I think we got Lisa's answer.
Thank You Lisa for finding ways to show us that you are always with us.
Love you Lisa. Miss you Lisa.💗💗💗
