[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 754158, member: 23706"] Birthdays are very hard for me regarding my deceased son, whose birthday was in between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and then Kay,s birthday is hard because we can not celebrate it. She is not in our lives. I can only pray for her. We send no gift. That is another decision we made for many reasons but that hurts too. I am trying hard to remember that birthday and most holidays are just another day. It helps. Christmas is the exception for me because it is not about me or my family or my dear angel son or Kay.i feel it is time to celebrate Christ, only Him, whom I dearly love, I focus more on Him than on other festivities. Whomever wants to celebrate with me is welcome but it is about Him. My husband and other children go to church with us. There are ways, not easy but satisfactory ways, to get through the hard days. One way is to remember,that in all honesty most holidays are only just a day. "This too shall pass." Does your daughter celebrate your birthday with you? Kay would call, say Happy Birthday, then made the rest of our discussion about her. She even asked for money on my birthday. Often. She never bought nor made me a card either. Remember if your daughter makes your birthday festive. People get what they give I offer my deep prayers and hugs and even love. Pease try to go to a place of peace. Visualize your happy place, if you must, it doesnt have to be a real place. Just close your eyes and picture it and be there,! God is with you. Always. [/QUOTE]
