For starters, I need to double back to Day 30. Our friends, Pat and Megan, are getting married this weekend and I made the hair pieces for the bridal party and threw in a few extra pieces too. This was actually my wedding gift, so I admit that it is a bit of a stretch to call it an Act of Kindness... but so much love went into each piece, and time, aaaand I am adorable and convincing and you will accept this all as sufficient for day 30.
For Day 31, we sent a little something out (a couple bucks leftover on a Dunkin Donuts gift card) into the universe, hopefully to bless a person and not just to entangle a ducklings little flippery-paw thing. We captured it on video so you could all see our ridiculous costumes, as well as our antics. I have a little enviro-guilt about this one, so please refrain from chastising me, taking comfort in the fact that I have already done so myself.
From L to R (Jaylen - Was supposed to be London's groom, but he ate his top hat and vomited on his tuxedo. Tom - Groom, Me - Bride, Annalee - Tweedledee, Marlie - Tweedledum, Harper - Spiderman, London - Groomless Bride.) If you are having a hard time picking up on the theme, that's because there really isn't one.
So, our video is nothing compared to what's next. The boys from Day 2 have a little something to contribute. If this doesn't melt your heart, then I will pencil you in for 31 Days of Interventions because you have serious emotional problems then we can agree to disagree on this one. Check it out...
It is crazy to me that my brother's short, stolen life continues to impact people to this day. I cannot even count how many messages I got from people who knew my brother, Adam, and were impacted by his life. I cannot help but feel that God refused to let Adam's life be lost in vain. I just imagine God saying "Alright, fine... but good luck trying to stop that kid's legacy."
These 31 Days of Kindness were done in loving memory of my hero and big brother, Adam. I am so thankful that I got to be his "lil' pinner."
Love, your baby sister
A beautiful way to give tribute to your brother, Adam.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Lara. Loved the beautiful pictures of all of you. Saw this (connected to your sis on FB) and so good to be reminded of Adam's amazing life and the impact it continues to have on other people.
