Today is our first born sons 40th birthday. I can’t believe how hard it has hit me that his Dad is not here to share this milestone. It’s 12 weeks since he died and his birthday was 3 days after his funeral, which was hard enough but this has really knocked me for six.
Carpetbagger,
That must be a tough experience. I hope it's gone as well as you could have asked for.
I have the anniversary of when we first met looming over me and am dreading it. I'm just so glad it's not on a work day this year as I think I'm going to fall apart that day for a little while. My stepson has a big birthday this year and that too is going to be hard.
Take care.

There are so many of these milestones to get through. Just over twenty months on I’m still finding those significant dates a challenge. What I’ve found is that some are more upsetting than others and it’s not always been the ones I thought would be hard that are.
Well done for getting through it. Those empty chairs are awful, aren’t they?
Take care
Jane
