my daughter is 15 tommorow , first birthday ,since we lost ju x

1 minute read time.

well ive had quite a weekend, car crash sunday , put deposit on new car today , something i did promise ju i would do when it felt right and it did, so what with that and new job was feeling very positive,

 also as many of my lovely friends on here know my best friends baby is now over due , and dont get me wrong i love my best friend dearly but her hormones are driving me mad , :) , and i cant wait to see her  baby come into the world but i really hope its not in next 24 hrs as i dont know if i will be able to be strong for her ,

as tommorow our eldest daughter will be 15 ,we are all walking on egg shells , as will be the first birthday since ju passed away ,it took me 3 days to wrap her pressies up as we used to always do it together, i cant look at the calender as ju has written a message on their for her ,he did it before he died,hes done it on all our birthdays , dont get me wrong ive always been soppy on birthdays thinking back to when they came into the world, ju always used to laugh at me ,every year ,every birthday , and then tell me i was a fab mum for giving them an amazing birthday , well im not sure if i can live up to that at the moment , im in tears again just writing this , bless her she has requseted a *homemade cake like only mum makes * i can manage that , i only hope shes not feeling as sad as me , as i really want her to have a lovely birthday ,and hopefully il be able to put the brave face back on if only for a little while, just to make her day special , surely i can manage that !!!

    Jen if friend does have baby tomorrow, its a really nice thing, not bad, not sad but a new life on a special day as your daughter is special then so a new baby on her birthday.  You will also be strong enough to give your daughter the birthday ju would  of expected you to do.   It will not be an easy day, but, you have to make it a special day for the two of you, even by maybe cutting a piece of cake in memory of ju, daft I know, but why not if he was there he' of had a slice,

    So look forward to tomorrow, have a good tme in memory of ju.

    love jan xx

    Hi Jenni, I guess the first birthdays, christmases, anniversaries etc are the hardest. I hope it goes well and you all get through the day without too many tears.

    My wee grandson was due on Saturday and hasn't made an appearance yet. I'm looking forward to it, but sad also as my dad died 9 weeks ago and he won't be here to see him. Dad absolutely adored children.

    Wishing your daughter a happy birthday and wishing you all the very best.

    Hi jenni

    'Firsts' of anything are always the worst after someone passes away.  I hope you have a happy day tomorrow, just as ju would have wished you to do - maybe that's why he wrote those messages on the calendar?

    I hope you're keeping that calendar as a reminder of how much he enjoyed birthday times.

    As for the baby, if your friend needs you I'm sure (being the person you are) everything else will be swept aside in the magic of the occasion.

    Stay strong jenni.  We're all rooting for you.

    Lots of love and *hugs*
