Nowadays, I’m more comfortable with dresses, so that’s what I had on 1 had on a cute sundress

with thin straps and that reached above my knees. I paired them with sandals. Since we were

going to spend most of the time walking, I assumed they will be more comfortable.

My hair was in in a curled pony tail with loose tendrils framing my face. I didn’t have much make

I didn’t want to do this whole thing. I easily get tired nowadays and I didn’t want to ruin the day by

being worn out too quickly. The smile on Noah’s and Gunner’s faces is what made me change my

mind. They were both so excited for this day.

Gunner needed this after what happened last week. He needed to feel loved and treasured. I hoped

that being surrounded by those that love him will give him new memories. Memories that would

replace those few painful ones of his mother.
