Tonight’s moon is full, bright and beautiful heralding in your birthday. Tomorrow is your 27th birthday and I do miss you in my physical space.
I reach out to you in the atmosphere as your energy resonates and your laughter echoes. Time, oh I wish we had more time on this earth with each other and for each other. You sleep in my heart and your joyful vibrancy touches my soul constantly.
Wherever I look I see signs: crosses on the road side, tributes in print, flowers in remembrance, blogs marking personal journeys and in the midst of sadness I see, read and hear of courage and hope.
There appears to be fierceness in us mere mortals. We fight a good fight, meet every challenge head on and even when weary we do not drop until the fight is over. Only then giving into the emotional despair we have felt and carried along with us.
It’s amazing the strength of our will, our tenacity, being able to put someone else first and to hold them there with little thought to ourselves, our own needs or wants.
We just relish every small moment, just love being in the space, willing each other on, buying time.
Tomorrow I will raise my glass to my wonderful daughter in law and wife of Aidan and salute her for her courageous spirit, for her relentless fight of life and her love for Aidan above all else.
Last but not least we will share stories of you A, remind each other of your rumbling laugh, feel the warmth in our memories and together we will celebrate your 27th birthday my beautiful boy.
Love you Aidan always
your mom.

Laughter is a pleasant sound, it spreads joy all around
Whether you’re young or old, laughter can be like
Magic to our souls, whenever we’re feeling sad
Laughter can sustain us so that things don’t seem
Quite so bad, if we give into laughter, it can be like
A cure for something that seems impossible to endure
So any time your spirits need a lift fill yourself
With laughter and you will find, a much happier
Person with a peaceful frame of mind
