Happy birthday 🎂

You should be turning 34 today. It's hard to believe that 4 years ago we were on the North Shore celebrating your birthday. We just got back from our yearly trip to Lambs in your memory. I tried to do all the things you loved like jumping into Lake Superior, eating raspberries off the bush, sitting around campfires, and seeing the waterfalls at Temperance. You are so loved and missed ❤️
