happy birthday to us

Whether you say Always Remembering You or Remembering You Always, it simply means you never stop thinking about someone.  Especially when your heart is so filled with love.  And sweet memories.  And sister secrets.  Especially because you are missing her.  The day she left for heaven is significant, but the day she was born is the one to celebrate, especially if your share that same birthdate.

Roses fill the gardens.  Roses fill the vases.  Piles of cards and packages.  Lots of joy here.  I'm a lucky girl.

    Happy Birthday to you both! Your birthday will never be the same without your sister, but I hope it doesn’t make you feel too sad. I’m sure she wouldn’t have wanted that. Enjoy the many happy memories!

    Happy Birthday to you and Shannon. She died right around the time my father died. I remember your posts touched me even more because of my recent loss. Enjoy your day, keep your roses near and find a clover for you both.

    Happy Birthday Michelle, I’m sure your sister is celebrating with you. My son-in-law also shared his brother’s birthday. His brother passed away when he was seventeen. He celebrates his birthday by watching a wrestling dvd, something he and his brother used to do.

    Happy Birthday to you on Earth and to your sister in Heaven. I don’t know if you and her were twins or just happen to have the same birthday/different years. My wife, who passed away a couple of years ago, was an identical twin. Her birthday was last month. I know how hard it is for her sister, her mother, and for me when that time comes by. Your lovely journal is a great tribute!

    hello Michele,
    it’s been such a long time since I was here… i don’t know why…maybe just life getting in the way somehow ?
    It’s been quite cold and wet the past months here in Belgium, but that changed the past week. And yesterday I found my rosebush finally blooming with a pink rose… I think this was a sign to come over again to your website. Coincidence that you post about pink roses and Shannon ?….
    The pink rose still reminds me of her and I forgot to say ” happy birthday ” to you !!!
    I try to hope over a bit more regularly now : I’ m still an admirer of your creations and the do inspire me.
    greetings from belgium
    Inge
