Cemetaries and Balloons

One of my favorite traditions that my in-laws have happened Saturday. My wife's mother, Dorothy, died when Lori was 12. Her birthday was May 10 so every year the Saturday before Mother's Day the Lindsays meet at the cemetary where Dorothy is buried. They pass out dozens of helium balloons and each member of the family writes down a note to Grandma Dorothy for this year. All at once they let the balloons go and watch their messages take flight to deliver their messages to their beloved wife/mother/grandmother. I really enjoy the tradition and have taken it upon myself to document it every year. This year I took about 250 photos.

So in honor of Dorothy, today gets three photos.
