I don't think I can completely ignore it gr8. It's only been 3 weeks. I have been going over it though, and I am thinking about taking out the first part.

MIL,

It’s hard to find the words during such a difficult time. I am sure this day brings with it many memories.

I hope you find some peace today, and perhaps bits of joy. While I know the coming year will be a difficult one, I hope it also brings healing, strength and love.

Happy Birthday MIL, you are continually in my thoughts and prayers.

Love,

Country

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.
