He Should Be 40 Now

But he will be forever 19. Today is my oldest son's birthday. He was a wonderful young man. I miss him every day but even more on his birthday. The auction helped keep me busy today and that helped. Hard to believe my kids are getting to be that old. I remember holding both my boys in my arms. I did have a good time at the auction. But forgot to have hubby take pictures of us. I did get 2 bags of bird seed and a stocking hanger for 8 dollars total. But none of the Christmas that I still need. I will get that finished next week when I do the shopping. I seen a hat my son would have liked but it went more than it was worth. Especially for just a stocking style. It has stayed fairly warm this evening. I am enjoying the weather right now. After tomorrow it is supposed to be cooler again. But still above freezing. Hope you had a good day.

Let the reruns of the sweet memories of him play on and on again in your mind. He is with my daughter, she would have been 33 in February. My tough day to remember her sweetness is February 16th, so I feel for you today.

Thanks he was. I hope I don't wear them anymore this year

. They are very warm. That will mean it got very cold out

@wolfgirl569 I still want to see a picture of them, even if you put them on only for the picture and take them off so you won't be too hot.

But it should be the other way. We are not meant to bury our children

Oh, those milestone days can be so very hard...such a handsome young man! It's hard to carry them in our hearts when we really just want to hold them close here on earth. Big giant hug. Be kind to yourself, Eva.
