I've noticed that this year and next year bring significant dates. Alan passed away 10 years ago this year. His 70th birthday is this year. Next year, 2012 we would have celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary. Our perception of time can be very skewed. Some times it feels like yesterday that Alan left me. Other times, if seems like a very long time ago.
Alan was never much for birthday gifts. He always said that he really didn't care if he received a gift. It was the birthday card that he treasured. I still made sure he had a gift but I doubly made sure that a card came with it!
Happy Birthday, Alan. I'm sorry I can't send a card to Heaven. But you know I'm thinking of you just the same.

Happy Birthday to your sweet Alan, may you be filled with happy memories today Melanie. Sending lots of love.

Sorry about the sad anniversary, Melanie but like Denise says, think of the happy memories. My dad died at 54 so I know the heartache of a life taken too soon. I was only 15 years old. Our anniversary is Sept 14th so close to yours. Sending big hugs your way!
PS. Cooper always barks at doorbells on TV. :D
Wishing you happy memories today
