Happy Birthday Jason!!!

March 5th, 2010

I started my blog today with the date.I do so because today is Jason's birthday. He would be 35 years old today.He would have the chance to see his grandson and share in all of his family and friends joys and hardships. I have spent time today contacting the family of Andrew Koenig, who dies by suicide last week. I felt that today was the day to to so. Jason's birthday. As the years have past I have found ways to keep Jason's memory alive. I will light a candle for him today. I will spend time reliving the day he was born and hope to make it through the day with joy and freedom from the sadness and sorrow that sometimes comes without warning.
Today is also a very important day for another reason. Today is our 15th wedding anniversary. We chose this date to be married so as to always have a reason to be happy and joyful for the life God has given us to share together.
I am also very grateful that I am here today to grieve or be joyful. To have been given another year in the Shadow of cancer. I can only be filled with the gratitude that is only been possible by the grace and mercy of God.
I close now to enjoy this very special day with my husband, my friend and lover.
Take care of your self and always be aware of the time you have been given and thankful for the loved ones in your life.
