Happy Birthday Son
Today would have been my sons 41st birthday--happy birthday son.
However, since there was a suicide there will be no card sent, no phone call made, no party planned, only pain experienced.
I wonder how many people will remember. Not many I would guess. I have been thinking about his birthday for several days. My wife remembered.
This birthday is easier than the first. The pain has lessened over time. I have "worked thru it", "experienced closure", and "moved on" as they say.
I thank God that our last words were, "I love you!" That makes it easier.
If you have experienced a loss or a suicide in your life I hope you can get to the place where I am. It is the best "new normal" that can be.
Peace
