;D
My daughters first angel birthday was 2 weeks ago today. I was terribly sad that I didn't have all of you to support me, but my friends remembered the day and called to check on me. My family did upset me because they forgot but that is another story. My DH took the day off of work to spend with me. We didn't have any big plans, but it was comforting to know he was there for me. We spent a lot of time that day at my daughter's school, since my husband is part of the PTF and they had a special awards chapel that day. After she got out of school, we went to the cemetary to decorate Abby's grave and we released purple balloons because Erica thought that Abby's favorite color would be purple like her big sister. My 2 year old son calls the cemetary Abby's garden. We then went out to dinner like we would for anyone else's birthday and then to church that evening. It was an ordinary day, but extraordinary.
I have come a long way in my grief this year. I credit that to my faith, prayers of others, and the support of all of you people I have never met, but I glad to know you are there for me. I am so glad this website is back!!! Yeah!
