Good Morning
Dear Mike,
I woke up this morning as usual thinking of you. I put one of your best photos on my desktop so I can see you every time I open up my computer. The year mark is coming up very quickly and I am getting so anxious about the date, I want to feel you all around me. I never got a chance to tell you, and you weren't aware that it was on my Birthday that I found out that you were going to leave us very soon. As it turned out, it was only 2 days. I'm not looking forward to celebrating this year, I don't even know when I will ever be happy on my Birthday. Losing you will be such a stark reminder. Thankfully Joanna at the office has a birthday the day after mine so I told Vicki to make sure no one asked me what kind of cake I want and to let Joanna pick it out and we could celebrate on her day. I think I can live with that for now.
I love you!

I can see that there will always be shadows on your birthday. I think you made a wise decision having Joanna\'s birthday be the one featured at work so you wouldn\'t have to deal with it. Your other option of course is taking off on your birthday so you won\'t have to deal with well-wishers.
I\'m glad you have reminders of him all around you - there\'s so much comfort in that. All the best to you as you approach this major milestone.
Hugs, Gail
