God looked around his Garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face.
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.
As the days come and go and the world moves on, I know you're still here, you'll never be gone.
On the night the Angel came and took your hand, we cried as you left for an unknown land.
But Heaven rejoiced as you came into sight, for your soul was a diamond, shining so bright!

"Hope to Heaven" balloon release 7.9.2011 @ AZ State Capitol

We are celebrating our progress in safeguarding our canals!! Brenan touched so many hearts in his short life and he continues to make an impact by encouraging all of us to come together and let it be known that we will not stop until canals are more safe.  This balloon release will mark 4,000 supporters on facebook and 14,000 views on this blog.  BYOB (It's not what you think...bring your own balloon) and if you do, bring a few extra for those that might forget or can't. :)

We also want to mention that there are others who have lost or nearly lost their life in a canal because it had no easy way out.  We would like this event to also bring more awareness and support for all of those people!! I encourage those who have a story to tell, to come and do it at The Capitol! I encourage you all to bring your questions about why we are told to put gates around our pools, while miles of open canals can be left as an open invitation!! We want everyone's thoughts, stories and questions to be heard....so please join us in conveying this message to the people who should be helping us do something about it and who can do something about it.

Finally, we are working on and hoping for the press to air this event so we need all the supporters possible to be present!

When: Saturday, July 9th @ 6:30pm
Where: Arizona State Capitol map
            1700 W. Washington St.
            Phoenix, AZ   

Thank you for your continued help and support!!! Hope to see you there!

From Blog Administrator:  It is truly amazing how special Brenan's story has become!  There has been so much support here in Arizona (and around the world with views of this blog coming from all over) and now it will continue with a beautiful celebration in Iowa (Cody and Jamie's hometown).  I have heard already that flyers are up all over town and I have seen a picture of an ad in the paper promoting this event as well.  I bet it truly is a site to see! I only wish I was there to see it in person! Please keep coming back to see the update on this event and I will also be posting a copy of the ad and the flyer as soon as I have my hands on it. :)

Keep spreading the word!!! Enter your email to side, it goes directly to the blog email where I am tracking names of supporters for the future petition of Barriers 4 Brenan.
