Happy Easter everyone. We celebrated Ally's 4th birthday; only she insists she is 10. 10 balloons, 10 candles and even holding up 10 fingers. To me, it is her way to include her brother in her celebration as she blew out her candles, I don't have to ask her wish. It was a great day for a party. However, my emotions are stuck on the spin cycle. It doesn't matter how many times I rearrange my thoughts-everything is off balance. This Easter is not the same as Ally and Maverick raced to their Easter baskets. Less laughter and smiles, and a huge sigh to our hearts. We all feel it. WE all miss the brother/son who brought laughter, smiles and provided balance to our day.
He is risen indeed. He is risen indeed. He is risen indeed. God you bring me strength on this unbalanced day. I pray for love on this day as we celebrate.
Thank you Manatee Bay Elementary for your beautiful drawings and cards to our family. Happy Easter to all our friends, family and neighbors.

Happy Easter Kempf Family! Wishing you strength and love.
Happy birthday to Ally and Happy Easter to the Kempf family. How I wish there was a magic wand to make everything all okay...there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of your family and pray for the strength to get through each day, hoping time will somehow ease the pain. We have all been touched by Mason...and he has changed many lives. Please know you are in our prayers.
I went around to the kids at the Easter Egg hunt...asking did you find a tiger in a green Easter Egg? No...No...No...from my cousin's kids. I asked my niece - 10 years old and as close to being my daughter as can be..."Yes, I did. Why?" I told her that it was a tribute to a boy named Mason who was spending his first Easter in Heaven. After a bit more conversation, her comment: "I feel so special!" Mason's tiger will have a place of honor on her shelf. Mason - we will remember you, though we never knew you!
