February 8th Your birthday will be here too soon; We've not celebrated it in years. There'll be an ache instead of cake, Not many smiles but lots of tears. We could not know that year's birthday Would be the last wild, happy one. You had just five more months to live. We partied as we'd always done. My birthday comes in warm July; I'm apt to cry on that day too. My birthday in the year you died Came on the day I buried you. By Joyce 01/30/04 |

Joyce, I am assuming this to be the death of a husband. From this poem, as from your others, you put much love in his life. Each poem you write shows your love and compassion for others. Love, Barb |

Dear Joyce...How sad a day this must be for you. My first baby, Michelle, died at three months from severe birth defects. Her bithday is May 23rd. God in His wonderful healing Love, gave me my grandaughter, Molly Ann, born on my darling Michelle's birthday! Now that day has become pure joy! Hugs, Ellie A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

Thanks everyone. This was a long time ago but memories linger on. My first husand, my children's father. He died suddenly at 41 on the 4th of July and was buried on my birthday the 7th. My second husband died on Thanksgiving day. My son died on Feb. 22, Wash. birthday and my stepson died in May and I got the word on Memorial Day. So everything is just one big memory. Love, Joyce |
