* Happy Birthday My Son

Walking around in the store down the cake isle I see the cake mix I use to buy for you. To bake your all time favorite, cherry chip, white icing with canned cherries on top of it. It made me sad because your not here for me to make it for you. I almost bought it anyway to make it and bring it to your grave and we both could eat it together but it would not be the same so I left it there. I came home got out your baby book flipping through the pages of photos. You were once so small, so innocent my baby boy how I miss you son. So are you having cake in heaven? along with your chocolate ice cream. I cant believe it has only been 7 months sense your passing it seems like a life time. Are you and Maggie behaving and doing all the things God is asking you both to do? 'Happy Birthday' my Son never forget that because God took you with him first does, not mean you and maggie are not in my thoughts. You are my heart both of you I will see you again some day but until then just know your Mom is okay and wishing a great and happy day.
