Every March 1oth my heart breaks and I yearn to hold my daughter Brandy in my arms once more. Brandy passed away on this date in 1982. I usually go to her grave site and put some roses down and release a Happy Birthday Balloon in her honor. Since I am no longer in Spokane I can not do that, so my oldest daughter Amber and my grandson Juillian will be doing that for me today. Thank you both as that means so much to me. To Brandy: Daddy loves you and misses you and longs for the day I can hold you again :) God Bless.
I remember going with you every year when I was younger dad. Brandy and me are exactly one year, one month apart. To this day, my favorite rose is the brandy rose.
This touched my heart. Keep writing and taking photo's as long as you can and share it. It will touch peoples lives forever.

Dad it was our pleasure to go. I will continue to go every year and Juillian will as well. This year we brought 4 mylar balloons and took turns releasing them after singing happy birthday and laying roses on Brandy grave. The last balloon to be released was the princess one shaped like a crown, this was released in honor of you dad and the coolest thing happened I didn't get to share yet with you. It went up about 15 feet and stopped dancing and swirling upside down and sideways for a long 2 minutes or so, as if Brandy herself was playing with it. We all paused and stared amazed. Why was it not flying away? The wind was blowing it around yet it stayed in place? We all knew she was there dad, she knows your love, always. Love you dad
