Yesterday we held a memorial for Thomas at school. A plaque was unveiled and a beautiful Chinese Maple tree was planted in his memory. Today I want to share the photos with you. The quality of the photos aren't that great, because I forgot to take my camera and had to use my phone, but here they are:

Thomas's tree and plaque with his candles:
The candles I made are identical to the ones I made to sit on his casket during his funeral:
All of Thomas's class mates were given a balloon to send up to heaven for him to play with again, as they did at Thomas's funeral. My son Dylan is on the far left holding the blue balloon:
The kids loved watching the balloons making their way up to Thomas in heaven, and watched until they were tiny specs in the sky:
And last, but not least, a close up of the plaque:
It will be lovely to watch Thomas's tree grow strong and tall. I know that each time I see it I am going to remember his cheeky smile and send some more love his way :)
Sleep well beautiful boy. We love you xxxx
Thanks for letting me share.
