Mommy's Birthday

We were away for Mommy's birthday, but today we drove down to spend the day with her since there was no school today. We stopped by a grocery store to pick up a small cake before we went to the house. I didn't know if she had a cake on Friday (her actual birthday) so I wanted to get one for her. We didn't really do much. I just wanted to spend time with her. We had dinner and cake then I gave her a small gift. I was looking for something that would remind us of Daddy, but was having a hard time finding something. Then one day when I was shopping, I found a heart necklace w/sapphires on it. It was perfect. The heart means Daddy will always be in our heart & the sapphires are his birthstone (and blue was his favorite color). I bought one for myself too. I wanted us both to have something. When we first planned to spend the day with Mommy, we were going to try to organize some of the boxes she has down in her basement, but we never got to that. We can do that some other time. She brought boxes of mail and papers from Beaver so she could go through it, but we spent more time just being together, which I think is more important. I wanted her day to feel as special as we could even though Daddy wasn't there. I hope it was ok for her. Her birthday, Jimmy's birthday & Kaley's birthday are all the first things to get through. I know getting through the first year is going to be rough.
