Hello,
April 7th marked Andrew’s birthday and if he was still with us he would have been 28. It sounds so old…… My thoughts often turn to what might have been with him marrying and starting a family of his own. But it is not to be.

Time seems to have stood still for us too. I know we are getting older but there is nothing really to measure it by. No grandchildren to watch growing up or family activities to participate in now that our parents have all passed away as well.

Kenn visited Andrew’s seat on his birthday but it was a cold, wet miserable day and I prefer to go there when it is bright and sunny; just like he was. It was lovely to hear from some of his friends and nice to know they still think of him. They are all busy with their own lives and I guess it is natural that they will move on and we will hear less and less from them. Living so far away from their parents contributes to this as well.

I am amazed that the counter of how many people visit this site continues to increase. No one leaves messages but I guess some people out there in cyber space find the time to read the ramblings. I hope it helps in some way.

I know it is OK to smile and laugh because I know that Andrew is somewhere laughing and smiling too. It is also OK to have those moments when everything just seems so sad. That is when I just take some time for myself, breathe deep and continue on living as he would want.

Life does goes on, though life will be changed when you loose someone.
