Daddy's birthday

I don't think it is ever bad to remember the important people that meant so much to us. I think about my grandmother on her b-day and around the time she passed most of all. I think of her often but alot more around those times. Sometimes I smile to myself remembering her and then other times...I'm a little sad that day. I remember my grandfather more on his b-day. He has been gone the longest now. He was on my dad's side..the one that raised me. The grandmother I think about was my mom's mom and we reunited when I was 27 or 28. We had 5 years together before she passed and I have to say they were some of the most meaningful and fulfilling 5 years of my life. I really needed her when she showed up. I had not been around her since I was 7 but it was like we were never apart. We were crazy about one another. I think it's nice to remember.

Yes I have a loved one that I remember on her Birthday. She is my grandmother. She has the same birthday as my brother. She has passed away last 2 months and I miss her a lot. She visits our house once a week when she was alive.

I do remember each and every family member's birthday, and anniversaries, etc, despite the fact that they have passed on. My Dad's birthday was at the beginning of Sept. I keep these things marked on my calendar, and put their name (Dad) with brackets, just so that I will think of them on their special day. I also usually will think of them during the day with the memories they gave me of happy times when they were still alive. Often I will get out the photo album. I don't think it's bad at all to remember somebody's special day just because they've passed on, I think it's normal to remember them with love. Just because they're gone from earth doesn't mean that they are gone from our hearts and memories! I hope that someday when I 'go' that someone will have those kinds of happy memories about me:-)

My father's birthday is in the first week of January and each time we celebrate the new year, I visualize his presence among us and wished that he was still around.

Yes, I do remember deceased loved ones' birthdays. It's because they made such a lasting impression on me and left a warm place in my heart that I remember their birthdays. I think that is the surest sign of a successful life, that you leave people behind who keep your memory alive because they can't help but do so.

I am always thinking of my loved ones that have parted this world. on their birthdays i find myself thinking of them even more and wishing they still were here. I don't regret time i have spent with them but i do miss them just as much as ever.

I think it is a lovely gesture to remember birthdays forever. The people who were close to us will always be in our hearts and somhow an extra smile and conversation on their would have been birthday is quite appropriate A visit to their grave if they were buried close by is also meaningful
