Marie,
I am sure it will be a difficult for you. There is nothing else I can say but do what you have to do to get through, cry alone, with your family. It would be nice if you could do something for yourself, get a pedicure, message, go to a movie. Sorry, Love and Hugs, Donna

I am so sorry for your loss. Although Mike and I didn't share the same Birthday, I dreaded my Birthday this year because on my last Birthday I learned Mike had a very short time left. As it was, it was only two days afterward that he left us. I didn't want to celebrate or even remember the day. But, the day before I got a real peace about it. It is your day, and that will never change. I had a good, peaceful day, one with the most greetings ever. I hope that you can see the day with a new perspective before it gets here, and that you will find the same peace that I did. I wish you the very best.

Hi Marie,
I am so grateful that you and I have become such close friends, so you know that my heart, thoughts and prayers will be with you and Dom this coming Saturday.
You know how much I care about you!!! Love you, Mo

Special times like birthdays are so much harder to endure. Sometimes I think that I'm recovering from losing Don, and recovering doesn't mean forgetting just finding an appreciation for what I have, then like a huge wave I'm crushed and in the pit of sadness. I'm sending you good energy in the form of prayers on your birthday and the rest of your days. Sharon
