I know, October is coming. I get it, this time of year will forever make us think of him more often and remember that he's not here. But it's almost my birthday and he gave me a gift when he left a day beforehand; so that while we were sorry to see him go, I will not forever face the memory of a day marred with more wondering and heart stopping moments of hope and fear.
He gave me the ability to remember him in future and still celebrate. Chris never bought me a birthday gift, or sent me a card (though I did get a text one year!) But in leaving on the 19th instead of a day or more later, he gave me the ability to remind our family that there is more than mourning to this beginning of fall. There is hope.
The birth of any child reminds us of the freshness and brightness of life. I am not amazing. I'm not saying "Woohoo!! The awesomeness that is me can be celebrated soon!" I'm saying, while we may mourn death on the 19th, we remember and rejoice in life on the 20th. Love to you all and don't worry, my lovely family, be happy:)
