This was the first time in 21 years that my son was not with me on my birthday. I turned 43 yesterday and it was so horrible that he was not here to celebrate with us.
Today is mine and my husbands wedding anniversary... My son will not be able to celebrate this with us either. This is horrible!!

Happy Birthday yesterday! Wish I was 43...again...lol
Also Congratulations on your anniversary...be sure to celebrate with your man and not let this day pass without some joy in it.

there will be more birthdays and anniversaries down the road and each one will be different. My sons are older and cannot always be with me on those special occasions anymore.

I keep you in my heart and mind, gal. I know the yo-yo of your life with your son. Closeness then Distance Closeness then Distance.

Keep in mind that he has a life and a body. You have a life and a body. They are separate so you can each live independently of one another at times. Do not let your mind be so melded with his that you lose track of your own right to enjoy things. It won't always be as it is now, things are always changing.

((HUGS))

Happy belated Birthday!!

I understand what you are saying. There will be a lot of "firsts" to come. Yancy is right...there will be more birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, etc. to celebrate when or loved ones come home. My son just turned 20 in May. It was his first birthday in. Thank goodness we were able to visit him on his actually birthday. I know all won't be like that though.

Remember we are all here for each other. God bless you and your loved one.

Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary! I'm sorry you're sad and going through this. You and your husband are young and your son is young, this will pass, Juliannn ( though right now it feels like every day is a year- I KNOW).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!.....I really do know how it is....and how difficult special days without them can be....but do try to find a way to enjoy special days....and know that they will not always be like this....BETTER special days will come!! Keep your eye on the prize! I know, it seems like EVERYTHING in life comes with mixed emotions now!!....because it just does.
Find whatever joy you can and run with it....even if it is just a fleeting moment.
Love and prayers always,
XXOO

Happy Birthday to your son and Happy Anniversary to you and your husband! I know it's hard, but as they say, this too shall pass and you will have your son home before you know it. You WILL get throught the next few years and then things will be back to normal. Something to look forward to for sure!!

Happy belated Birthday and Anniversary! I'm sorry that you're feeling the separation from your son. It's hard when special days come along and someone's missing. Sending you hugs.
