Last night was Candi's 20 year Reunion...
and I got to be there!
To say that I was honored to be invited is an understatement.
I was overwhelmed with love!
~~~~~~~~~~~
"Candi was everyone's friend."
"I don't think there is a single person here that didn't know Candi"
"I have so many fun memories of Candi!"
"Candi always had a smile to give me everytime I saw her!"
"You look so much like your sister!"
(quotes from Candi's classmates)

Last night Candi was talked about,
she was loved on through me, and she was remembered!
My little sister heart overflows with love!

Heidi,
This blog makes me want to smile and cry at the same time. Thank you for sharing Candi with the rest of us. I wish I could have known her.

I cried nearly through the whole video. You are an amazing woman! It took such courage and bravery to go, and I thank God you felt so loved and that Candi was loved through you. You love well my friend!!!!!
Love you, Robin
What a special time, Heidi. I'm so glad you were able to go to the reunion and reconnect with your sister in this way. I can't imagine what it's like to lose a sibling. You do an incredible job of keeping Candi's memory alive and loving her in the ways that you still can. I wish she was still here with you and pray that God continues to give you such neat gifts that help you (and us) remember and love her.
Love,
Kari
I'm so glad you had a wonderful time. I knew you would. I can't imagine what that was like. Okay, I never realized that Maggie looks A LOT like your sister! Especially when I saw Candi's baby picture. That totally looked like Maggie! Maybe she'll be the one to remind you of Candi the rest of your life. :)
