I know how you feel.My grandmother died when she was 56 . My mother passed away when she was 45 . And I always thought that I wouldn't live passed my 30s . But yesterday was my 61 birthday. Sure glad God has let me live this long.

Congratulations! My dear Mom died at 69, which is where I am now. My 3 beloved siblings are gone, leaving fine children and grands behind. I think it is inevitable to ponder our wonderful lost ones as we hit milestones. Take care of yourself and dream of the fine times in the past and what may be.

Happy Birthday! I love your outlook.
I think of my cousin often...she died at 29 leaving leaving behind a 5 month old and a 3 year old. A fast moving cancer diagnosis after the birth of her baby took her quickly in 1981. Every day is a gift. Enjoy each day/year.

Congratulation and Happy Birthday. We all need to be grateful at the age we are, as today you never know if you will see the next birthday. I am 73 and never thought I would make it and am grateful everyday that I get up. So sorry for your loss but I believe they are routing you on. Enjoy your blessed day.
