I'm sorry. H's family has asked that we not celebrate DS's bday ever on a certain date because they feel pretty low on the anniversary of his dad's passing.
H's difficult day is Thanksgiving, which was the beginning of the end, a few weeks before he passed. H stayed by himself out in the barn all day on Thanksgiving for 5 years, because that's how he wanted to be. It's how he does something for himself (H is not a social guy.)
This past Thanksgiving, year 6, he was finally able to join us.
I'm so sorry. My mom has been gone for 35 years. Some years, the day (February 3) passes without much sadness, but some years, still, it hits me like a ton of bricks and I nearly come undone.
I hope you find so e time to take a few moments for yourself today.
