And sometimes even the 2nd and 3rd years some things or moments are just hard. *big hugs* I'm sorry for the loss of your mom.JustHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05373768249873098150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939294092537555113.post-89523110444515104092015-03-24T04:25:52.724-07:002015-03-24T04:25:52.724-07:00My mom sang me a special birthday song every year....My mom sang me a special birthday song every year. Most years she'd call at the exact time of my birth. The first birthday I had without her, when that time passed, I cried. I missed her so much. I missed her special birthday song. I kick myself for not ever recording her singing it. <br /><br />The year of firsts is the worst. The good news is, they only last for a year. It doesn't get easier, per se, but it becomes more bearable as time wears on. <br /><br />Hope you had some moments of joy, too.

So of course today will be hard.<br /><br />That said, happy birthday.

So in this case, give yourself the gift of song; bringing the love your mom had for you full circle and nurturing yourself in the process. And, happy birthday.Candace Cahillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09005487799203036345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939294092537555113.post-44838282251690257212015-03-23T07:44:33.588-07:002015-03-23T07:44:33.588-07:00I think either way would be hard.

So I try to cherish it, but I know, the first year she isn't here will also be hard. <br />Sending you a virtual hug since I can't sing to you.
