Today is John's 48th birthday. Happy Birthday, John! Mom's birthday is the 29th. I could always remember how old John was because Mom was exactly 30 years older. She would've been 78 on Thursday. It was the same with me and Dad. He was exactly 40 years older than me and we shared the same birthday month--November. So this year, when I turn 44, Dad would've been 84.
Sometime around their birthdays, we would've all celebrated. A cake or going out to eat--something to make it special.
I will write more tomorrow.

Susie - Those birthday months are tough. I know I feel down as April approaches. My little cousin, Tammy Arnold, was born on my 7th birthday and we always celebrated together. When she was killed in a car accident on April 18, 1986, we buried her on our birthdays, which is April 21st. She would have been 15 that day, as I turned 22. The whole month of April just hurts, so I can understand the "birthday month" discomfort. Thanks for sharing on this blog. It's good for everyone.
