Today is my daughter Jessica's birthday. This is the 2nd birthday since she has been gone, she would have been 29. I miss her so much and think of her every moment of every day.

so sorry Chelle. I guess I am lucky to at least have gotten his personal effects back

When the seasons begin to change it makes it harder. My son loved the fall and his favorite corduroy jacket. He thought it made him look cool and it did. He had it on that last night and I couldn't get it back from the funeral home because they said there was too much blood and glass. My husband said ok but I wanted it anyway. But now I will think of it untattered on him and looking cool. God it hurts so bad...

Teresa I love that you will continue to do that tournament in celebration of Michael. Ever since you did that last year, I was impressed by your ability to put in the time and energy to organize something like that and that is such a wonderful tribute to your son. You were an inspiration on how to use our time to make a difference even if for one day in our lives and touch others who want to remember too. I don't doubt for a moment that our children help and guide us through these times and give us inspiration and strength to survive. Hugs to everyone

Connie, I thought your drum circle was a great idea and I hope you find the energy to continue it.  The 12 year old is right.  We have to find ways to live for them and celebrate their life rather then keep mourning them.  Michael was here and I won't let anyone forget it.  

Michael will always be my son. 

I'm choosing to do the hockey tournament in his name.  I'm hoping this year is bigger and better than last year.  I know Michael is proud of what we are doing. 

It's been a hell of a journey getting to this point and I can't say I'm at a peaceful place but I know I'm working towards it.

Yes celebrate her birthday. On my son's birthday  we had a drum circle outside with his closest friends and family. We left a chair and drum for him.  I know he was there with us. It was something he loved and something everyone else could participate in and express their love and pain through the rhythms they beat. I think I may make it a tradition because I felt like  it truly was a celebration of his being. Especially for his friends who are still just kids and really don't know how to deal with it either. My son once wrote a quote after a very close friend passed away, that we live by. He said "Those who have passed do not wish to be mourned, they wish to be celebrated." Words from the mouth of a 12 year old. The pain never stops and neither will my love for my Daniel. I will always celebrate him deep in my heart for the greatest love I will ever know. I miss you so much my sweet baby.

I say celebrate your child's birthday anyway you want to regardless who thinks what about it.
