Guest guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Raquel, I wonder what Sherman would do on his birthday? Maybe you can honor him today by celebrating his birthday. I bet he would love for you to remember all the good birthdays he has had. Wouldn't it be better to remember all the days he lived, instead of the one day he died? He loved you and would want you to be alive today. Not in a hole covered up.! Happy Birthday Sherman.! Lots of hugs, Donna R Caregave for Mom (after I brought her from WI to MI) for 3 years and 4th year in a nh. She was almost 89 when she died in '02. No dx other than mine. Birthday Dear friends, tomorrow would have been Sherman's 76th birthday. I am going to dig a big hole, get in it and not come out for the whole day...

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 One of my best friend's husband died a few years ago- his birthday was 10/30. She is late 70s (married at 17) she struggles along - I always have to remember to bring her a large amount of chocolate by the 30th. She buries her head and eats the chocolate all day- its her comfort food. On my loved ones birthday (died 2003) I hide out - Take care Sharon T > > Dear friends, tomorrow would have been Sherman's 76th birthday.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Raquel, So glad to hear the day went a bit better than you might have predicted it was going to go. And glad you got some healing in and didn't do your back damage with digging. Just keep watching for the " bear " to show up and he will be sending you messages to live your life while you can. I hope you get to " have dinner and see a movie " next year. Lots of hugs and good thoughts going up for you.

Re: Birthday Thank you, Donna, for your beautiful words.�The truth is,�I thought to dig a hole that big would be very bad for my back...�not counting the fact that my neighbors would make me cover it again. So I decided to do something else, and actually I had a very peaceful day remembering him, loving him and doing what I know he would want me to do -I went to one of our temples. It was a healing day, even though I had my moments. Next year I may celebrate it the way we used to do with our birthdays: go to dinner and to the movies. Now I'm thinking of my first Thanksgiving without him, but there are so many things I'm grateful�and that I should think about that day that I hope it will also be sweet. My love and a big hug, Raquel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
