Today is your birthday. It was weird not having a cake or anything....
I took the day off today from work so I could spend time with mom, I knew it would be a hard day. All the family is gone and after all it's your birthday, and well you aren't here. We ran errands, she got her passport (YAY!!!) and had lunch with Phil and Aaron. We went to the hospital today too. That was weird.... Going there, not to visit you, but to drop off flowers from your service to the nurses at the 4th floor nurses station. It was so weird. So surreal... I haven't stepped foot in that hospital since you passed away. Mom had to tell the Mackenzie's, who volunteer at Doctor's Hospital, about your passing. That was hard. They shared with us a story from their recent trip out west. The Mackenzie's went to a hot air balloon trip and were confronted about why it is that they volunteer at the hospital, and they proceeded to tell these people about you!! You are the reason that they volunteer... so sweet and nice to hear.
Everyone came over for dinner tonight. It's so nice to have everyone here....wish you and Charles could have been here and that would have made it complete.
Needless to say from now on, every year on your birthday it's going to be odd to not celebrate your birthday. I would like to come up with some sort of tradition that we do for you on your birthday with mom and the family. We'll see....
I know you know this, but I love you and miss you lots and lots!!
Love,
Alicia
