Birthday Thoughts
It is my birthday tomorrow and I always find this one of the hardest times. We always enjoyed birthdays and went to a lot of trouble to make it very special. Tomorrow it just won’t be the same. My friend is taking the day off and we are going
into the countryside to have a walk, this will be lovely and no doubt I will share memories with her.
Birthdays are a celebration, a celebration of life and life should be celebrated. So I am working on my mind today to not concentrate on his death but on the life he gave me and how he made each day feel like my birthday.
How do you feel about birthdays ? Do you find it hard to celebrate?

Well Happy Birthday, I hope that your day is filled with good memories.
Yesterday was my Josh’s Birthday, he would have been 22. I found in incredibly hard because he loved birthdays; especially his. I have a candle that is lit every day for him and it stayed lit the whole day yesterday for him. I just sat there and remembered all our past birthdays together. He died one month after my birthday, and that was the last big celebration we had together before he died. I know that was a very special day for many reasons and I go back to that night often. However, I find it hard to say the word “celebrate” when it comes to his birthday, because how can you celebrate something like this when the person is no longer here? I know that because this is his first birthday since he has past so it’s especially hard and I feel over time I will be able to celebrate this day.

How strange that Josh was in February too. Birthdays are hard but I still try and and concentrate on the great love we shared and celebrate that….but my heart goes out to anyone that has to cope with birthdays.
