We was going to throw her, her first birthday party which was going to be a Halloween theme since they are close together. Is it weird to still want to do that at her grave? Decorate her grave. I was thinking of a few things I could do but people just looked at me weird and said "Is that how you want to honor your child?" But I figure this would have been her first birthday and her first Halloween, I wanted to do something special for her before she passed away, and I STILL want to do it even more now that she is gone. I dont know if they just didnt like the ideas I had or if they didnt like the main idea of decorating her grave? I dont care what ANYONE says though. I am definately going to get Halloween balloons and let them go at her grave so she can catch them :)

I haven't gone through Colin's bday yet, but I plan on making sure he feels like we haven't forgotten him. You do anything you want, she is your daughter. I've heard of a lot of people decorating and releasing balloons. Let us know when her birthday is so we can send her some birthday love too.

Yeah, don't listen to what anyone else is saying to you, what you want is what you should do. People that haven't lost children don't understand, so they can't give you advice on how to celebrate and honor your baby! Do what makes you happy. She will love the Halloween theme and Halloween balloons.

Austin's birthday is Christmas Day and I do plan to have a party for him, before Christmas though since everyone is so busy that day. For Halloween, we are decorating his grave. Not with anything too scary. We have a couple of jack-o-lantern things to put in the ground, we are going to do something with one of those foam pumpkins, and who knows what else.
Don't worry about what others think. Remember, they haven't been through this kind of loss so they can't possibly understand what it means to you to do something special for your baby.

Is there anything I should do to make her birthday not so horrible? Like, keep myself busy and that kind of thing?
