I've just been plugging along.  November is a hard emotional month.  My brother's birthday was last week.  This is the third one since his death.  It's always a hard time.  Mine is coming up.  We used to always celebrate together.

My birthday is Sunday.  I'm not happy about being 40.  Then those crazy holidays are around the corner.

I keep telling myself it's only a passage of time.

I'd rather spend the time in Mexico right now...

    Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday Dear Cares, Happy birthday to you! 40 is a milestone! I hope that you have a happy day. I'm sorry to hear about your brother's day. It is SO hard to lose a loved one. You are a SURVIVOR!

    I am sorry about your brother. How sad for you. Grief takes a lot of time. Grief is also fluid, so remember when you are in pain, it will pass if only for a little while. 40 is young and you are lovely. I would love to escape to Mexico and skip the holidays. I think about it every year.
