It's been a difficult couple of days. Tomorrow would have been Pam's birthday. It's also my mom's birthday. (Just one of the many strange similarities between our families.) All week I've been thinking about Pam and how much I miss her. I guess that is normal. For her last birthday we surprised her with a party. There were balloons and gifts. Laurie brought a cheesecake, Pam's favorite. No one remembered a camera so we have no photos to help us remember. We assumed there would be other birthdays. We were wrong. I can't believe it's been almost a year or that these emotions can come back as fresh and raw as the day we lost her.

Anniversaries, birthdays...of people we loved can be so hard and sad.
Very true. Hope you're doing okay.
People leave such are mark on our lives. Even though we feel sad when we think about them, we can also smile at the joy they brought to our lives. We can laugh at the funny things we remember about them and then, they are never truly gone.
I love you so much, and wish I could take the saddness away for you.
Mom
You never forget the birthdays,but, they get easier to remember.
