On this day 35 years ago, I got married. The picture here was taken then. That’s my brother in the blue shirt and my husband on my left. Unfortunately, both are no more. My husband died 12 years after our marriage in an accident and my brother 7 years ago when he got his third heart attack. All three of us are born on the 13th. My brother’s birthday is on 13th June, my hubby on 13th November and me on 13th October. My brother named us the 13th triangle!
After my hubby passed away the kids insisted I continue celebrating my wedding anniversary. I used to feel it strange celebrating the anniversary without hubby but kids would not listen. Since the lockdown I have asked them not to order for cake since I live alone, and the cake gets wasted. Today my son will be ordering lunch from outside and my grand son has given me his pocket money to order for icecream. Ofcourse I will not be using his money but have taken it from him to make him feel happy and kept the money aside in a box where I keep putting money regularly for the kids.

I love to hear how sweet your family is to you. You and your husband obviously did a lot right, but I am so sorry he was taken from you so soon, as well as your dear brother. Keeping the memories alive by celebrating is wonderful, and I appreciate you sharing them with us. You make a fine looking group!

@AmbiePam I would miss the person. My birthday is about 3 months or so away. My father bought me two dresses last month. His logic, well, try them on, if there is any modification needed, you can get it done before your birthday. He ordered online - he had a stroke last year and cannot move much. I fear such things very much. Kinda, every time I am gonna wear these dresses, I will be reminded of the love...and the fact that it is now missing...if he passes on. Then I am gonna cry right? I think love scares the sh it out of me. It makes me unhappy upfront out of fear of losing the person, and unhappy after the loss.

Celebrating not as a merriment but in their memories. That's an unusual 13th day connection for the three of you. You see numerology is also like lunar influence on the person.

We relive memories of life together on this day. Today my grandson was with me and I was sharing some stories about his grandfather whom he did not have a chance to see. Yes 13th is a unusual connection in the family. My sisters husband and their daughter are also both born on 13th Sept.

My mom yearly remembers her wedding day 
but not celebrates it anymore. The one thing she wants to do is to visit my late father on his birthday and after we eat together as family in a restaurant where we used to eat when my late father was still alive

As long as you have your children and your memories I think it is nice to remember your anniversary. I know your husband will be with you in spirit,

I am sorry you lost them both, way too soon. You look just so pretty in the picture! I am glad for you that you have some family to celebrate you with ice cream, which is such a good treat. Hope you had a good birthday!

You have lost your husband and brother. This is unfortunate news. You must have worked hard to raise your children. The children know that you are not easy, and they prepare cakes for you. I hope you can be happy, sweet, and happy.
