I was surprised by the depth of pain I felt on the second anniversary of my husband's illness, which was also our 40th wedding anniversary weekend. I poured out my pain in a email to my sister, and she responded and I felt so much better. This emotion returns on every significant day on some level. Once I acknowledge it, I can move on. The 20th of this month is my husband's birthday. I will be visiting my son and family for Christmas, and I plan to take them out to dinner to celebrate John's birthday. And I always send out an email to extended family to encourage everyone to celebrate John with ice cream, which he loved. We do this through out the year. His sister sent me a picture of her family camping and each person was eating a Dove bar in memory of John with big smiles on their faces. God bless you and your family and I send you joy, health, hope, and fun this holiday season.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268746983441346507.post-14290588805121007012010-12-15T09:17:13.178-08:002010-12-15T09:17:13.178-08:00I do get it.

But I will go on and I will find hapiness in the season not only for myself but for the two wonderful young men that our boys have become at such an early age.
