The Birthday Party - now with pictures!

[mademoiselle_a]

It was so much fun!  We got off to a crappy start.  We had a slight bit of rain for about 15 minutes after we got the punch out, all the chairs sat up and the stinking decorations all out.  It was 1pm when the party started but because of the light rain we all hung out in the house, well about 10 people, lol.

Luckily it stopped and all the chairs

Thanks!

After Nick died December 03 I kinda lost my mind. =/ The following April I moved in with his gma, but she died that June and then I moved in with his mom and lived with her for one year.

We were very close, I was the daughter she never had. I was there for her and she was there for me. We were kinda like the last 'thing' that eachother had that reminded us of Nick. It was a great relationship.

I moved home and got pregnant with Keaton a few months later and she ended up marrying Terry. So we both kinda found someone else to occupy our time.

We are not close anymore, but still maintain a relationship. She lives one road away, which I am ashamed of. I should go see her more often than I do really.

I always take her a small gift and go see her every year on Dec. 11th, the date of Nick's death. Last year we didn't even talk about Nick once. Talked about our current lives.

I plan on keeping a realtionship with her. Just with my busy life with two kids and her work life/marriage now, she has really filled alot of the emptiness from his death like I have. So I guess I don't feel like I need to be there for her, like I did before. Know what I mean?

That's totally understandable. Life is odd, huh? I'm just glad you were able to be there for one another to help fill that void. Not that it could ever fully be replaced, because trust me...I know. My ex killed himself, too. We only dated for 6 months but he was more of a friend than anything. I cannot ever imagine going through being really close like that and having a relationship and having one committ suicide, left alone it being my child. Regardless though, life takes us to different places...but at the time I'm glad you had one another. :)

I really love her, she is a great woman.

It's too too sad how many people are taking their own lives these days. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
