I can't believe I missed this one. I'm sorry to hear you lost him so young. It's one of those things that never really heals. I've heard that memories fade, but they really don't, and the emotions never leave and leave scars.

Congratulations on the new great god child! I hope it helps make this day a lot more pleasant next year. I honestly forget many traumatic dates, probably not the healthiest way to cope with loss... I've had a lot of them and military service definitely has a lot of blame for that one.

I hope you have a great day today!
