TF,

Why dread it?

You are anticipating the misery.

THAT is what is making you sad.

It is still a day.

An important one in your life.

A day to be proud of and remembered because of all of the joy that it brought to your life…

Without it, you would not have those beautiful babies or a lot of the good times that you have had…


Regardless of whether that particular event is something you celebrate anymore, the day resulted in many special things for you…

Don’t let that be taken away from you just because you won’t celebrate the event right now…

You know you may never again, as hard as that is to admit sometimes…

Are you going to forever let that day, that DATE, be ruined for you?

Reminds me of September 11 actually…

I always try to honor those that suffered and remember the good that has come from it (although there are days that it is difficult) instead of letting the anniversary of it remind me of the sadness that was brought on this country. Because a lot of good did come from it…
