Happy "would be" 40th birthday

Oh the party we would have had if you were here.

Lots of food, fun and friends to celebrate how awesome you were.

But, you're not here, you're There. And I'm here. So, Joe, the boys, Mum and I will have a red velvet cake in your honour. I hope you'll watch as we blow out your candles.

How I wish you were here and not There.

RIP Baby Sister.

5 years

Five years have passed since I lost her.

Five long, short, quick, slow, painful years.

Some days it seems like yesterday. Others like 25 years ago.

I *still*, for a split second, think of calling her and realize I can't.

Damn I miss her.

Mom put an ad in the local paper today.

She has been on my heart all day.

The support of my Facebook friends has been phenomenal. Thank you for being there...I am blessed with friends that I wish were family.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Joanne

Today, you would be 39. I love you and miss you so very much.

I hope your party in Heaven is a great one.

I love you.
