So today would have been Jay's birthday. Wished him `Happy Heavenly Birthday` via Facebook and the response I got from everyone was wonderful so many `likes` and a few messages lets me know at least there are still people out there who remember him. I just spent the day trying to keep busy and looking at photos and remembering our good times As we got older birthdays weren't that important to us but it just takes something like this to cause a trigger and to just bring home the fact that he is gone. We would have been going out to dinner somewhere no doubt but have just spent today and tonight with my memories. Bittersweet couple of days coming up it was Jay's birthday today and this weekend it is my son and daughter in laws first wedding anniversary so this time is sort of a marker for me with remembering his birthday and my sons wedding anniversary. I am sure he would have been somewhere around today though celebrating and remembering with me.
