Happy Birthday

Today is my husband’s birthday.  For the first time in three years it is not also wrapped up in a baby announcement.  Three years ago, we used his “surprise” birthday party to announce our first pregnancy.  The last two years have involved sad doctor’s visits on his birthday.  It is a relief to be able to just celebrate this year.  I hate that his birthday has become so layered with sad days that it’s hard for me to separate a special, happy day from this season of loss remembered.  But, today is for celebrating his amazing life and accomplishments.  Tomorrow is for learning how to celebrate our angels.
