It seems I barely get over a dreaded date: their birthdays, anniversarys of their death dates, Christmas, then I have to face another one! Life can be so hard, and it is only with my faith in GOD that I surrvive it all! What's worse than losing a child?

My dau...ditto... dread fall, the holiday months... <br />My daughter's birthday, October 12, 1987.<br />Date of death, September 12, 2009. <br />November: Thanksgiving... difficult one.<br />December: Christmas. Means less presents, less company, less laughter, less reason to feel joyful<br />January: Un-happy New Year<br />February: Valentines... one less card to give and receive.<br />March... the only quiet month.<br />April: Easter and the whole resurrection issue, Yes, there is hope in the promise of resurrection in heaven, but I also, in vain, begged Him to resurrect her like He did Lazarus and other people's children.<br />May: Mother's Day blues<br />June: Father's day <br />July: my birthday... worst day of the year.<br />August: her dad's birthdayMarshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06479385716346352668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769212411627771204.post-65479380018647062502011-10-09T06:24:56.505-07:002011-10-09T06:24:56.505-07:00I do not like October, either.
