sisters b-day

[charmedx3]

Just wanted to post that tomorrow is my sisters b-day. she died in oct 05. my kids still want to celebrate so i think i will make a cake tonight. We did the same thing last year and i got all of her kids together. So it sounds like we will do the same this year. It seems to be a hard day on everyone. but getting together seems to help the kids. some people think it is weird but as long as it helps her kids is all that matters.

It was the 1st anniversary of my brother's death last month on the 12th. He used say that breakfast was his favorite meal, so my family and I went to the Cracker Barrel (one of his favorites) as his memorial. I thought it was much better than going to his grave. I think we are going to make that a tradition. We didn't do anything on his last birthday, it was just too soon, but making a cake is a great idea. Thanks for the idea! It is weird that I am about to be the age that he was when he died. I am kind of dreading it...any advice?

I think that is so wonderful of you to do this for her kids (and yourself). It helps keeps her memory alive.

Well, my 42nd birthday came and went. My mom called and I started crying just thinking that this age is as old as my brother got to be. I told her about the birthday cake idea that I read here. She said that if that is what I want to do that would be fine with her.

Saturday was also the 15th anniversary of my aunt losing her 2 kids, ages 19 and 16 and her 4 month old granddaughter in a car accident.

I am sorry you have had rough month. it was fun to celebrate but still very emotional. do only what you think you can handle. hang in there.

This is a great idea! Thank you :) My mom passed in '03 and I'm always trying to think of ways to get my brother and I to do something together to remember her. I'm sorry about your sister -did you say she left children behind?
