My Birthday and I hate it... another one without my "Honey" although the last Birthday was horrible... he was still here! One never knows the feeling you will have until "It" happens and then your like what the "Hell"! remembering him more and more as time moves and I realize I will die alone... and that's O. K. I came into this world alone I'll leave it alone... I just hope it's quick! So that is my "Birthday Wish"

Have a wonderful day, and remember how special you are. '' The greatest thing about getting older is you don't lose all the other ages you've been''. Don't know who said it - but I try to remember it. Vicki

Be kind to yourself. We may die alone, but when we do, hopefully our sweeties will be there waiting for us, it keeps me going.

@lkmeb, I have the quote by Churchill framed and on my dresser. My brother in law gave it to me. I repeat it several times a day.

So sorry for sadness on your birthday. I feel the same way as you about my birthday. it will never be the same, but all of us know what you are missing. I extend my deepest sympathy and pray that you will be better each day as you go along toward healing. Happy Birthday from me!
