Please God, make them remember
That today is a special birthday.
Make them understand
That the memories don't go away.
Bless them with ears to hear and hearts that care.
Enable them to listen while I share.
Shelter them that they may never know my pain.
Help them to help me know
That my child's life was not in vain.
Help them to remember Lord,
That I wish my child was here.
So we could still celebrate.
To understand that
I still feel the nearness of my child.
To see beyond my smile
And the Words. "I'm okay."
Please God, just let one remember today,
Is a special birthday!

Sadly this month my brother spends his 1st birthday in Heaven and we spend his birthday missing him. I know they say you should celebrate ones life, but how can we when just the day before we have mourned yet another months passing of Shawn's death. The 19th of November marks 6 months of Shawn's passing. The 20th would have marked 30 years of Shawn's life.
Shawn use to say that he would never live to see 30, I am not sure if he knew something we didn't or it was just an unfortunate coincidence.
I know though Shawn will be here with us on the 20th of November knowing we need him to help us make it through what was suppose to be a happy time, but turned out to be one of the hardest days of the year for us.
Happy Birthday, Shawn Michael! We Love and Miss you more than words can ever describe. You are always in our hearts and in our thoughts!
