Samuel's birthday was Tues, October 20....he would have been 20. I didn't want this to be a sad day, so I headed to the beach, my favorite place to celebrate his life. I posted on my blog, just click the website link below to see pics from our day. It was easier being at the beach. I miss Samuel so much and sometimes still can't believe he is gone....

Happy Birthday Samuel.

B/d's and holidays are the hardest ever. The pain is unbearable. Timmy would be 18 this year, on New Year's Eve. This is my third birthday we missed.

It looked like a beautiful day and the sky was clear and blue! Bet those balloons made it all the way to heaven :)

Sending lots of luv your way.

Hi Bette...it was a gorgeous day! I couldn't of asked for a better day. And it helped me being at the beach.

I'm so glad it helped you. Anything that you can find that gives you even a little bit of peace or happiness you have to take it!! I cry when I go to the beach, it was a big thing for all of us, Timmy loved riding the waves and catching the little sand crabs. He loved the beach. I had taken my son and a friend of Timmy's during that 2007 summer twice and both times I sat there and cried, I haven't been back. One day I hope that knowing it gave him so much joy, that I can feel that peacefullness there once again.

It is so hard sometimes to celebrate a life that has been stolen, and I am glad you and your family was able to do so. I try to stay as positive as I can and think of all the wonderful memories I have, but I still get ****** that there is not enough and there should be more. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Samuel. Sending you love and kisses.

Happy belated birthday Samuel. I hope you had a wonderful day. Bless you sweet angel.
