It must be very hard for you all, especially your mum - and dad of course. She will always be part of you and it's lovely that you recognise her birthday. She existed, if only for a short time. And the fact that you all acknowledge her must make it a little easier for your mum. She doesn't bear the burden on her own then. (panda)

I’ve been up to her grave to see this

Her rose bush has really flourished this year! :)
I also paid a visit to the grave of the man who was more of a grandfather to me than my real ones, and who died 21 years ago this week. I do the same every year but it’s really got to me this year for some reason

I love that you all celebrate her birthday. I have had m/c and I'm the only one who remembers the date and I know it's not the same thing, but I have an understanding of a small amount of the pain.
Sending you all loads of love and huge hugs today. Pass on my thoughts to your Mum too..
I’ve been reading my book with my new kindle. I have to say, it’s a lot easier on my vision than using the iPad kindle app so I’m happy I decided to splurge on it.
What I loved about today is that Si and Jess came to the cemetery with me and Katie sent me a message as she’s at her dads. My sister is a part of my family in the next generation. I know a lot of people wouldn’t recognise this like we do but it’s important to us, to my parents, that she’s not forgotten. They went through hell when she was born and the hospital buried her in an unmarked grave in hospital grounds. It took mum and dad two years to find out where she was, get her body exhumed and then bury her again where she is, properly, where we can remember her. Where she’s not forgotten
That's horrific for them to have had to go through that. I understand why it's so important and it is important.
I’ve been sitting out in the garden for hours, reading my book, chatting with my girls :) I can’t sit in direct sunlight (vampire?) as my CRPS skin burns very easily and having sunburn when the condition already makes it burn is not a good move. But the parasol was angled perfectly and it was just so relaxing. What is it about sitting out on a sunny day that is so soothing?
It sounds like a perfect way to spend time together!
