Holiday's are always a difficult time in life for many.  It is the thought of loved ones, and heartache abounds in so many of us.  Today is my partners birthday. To whom I have been with for 18 years. Everybody has their own hardships. But tomorrow is my fathers birthday and his death date.  How could I show someone that they were and are a special father and important to be born on a date of birth?  Through out the years, I admit my own child did not remember mothers day, my birthday or yet alone anything important about me.  My partner for all of these years raising his children had experienced the same thing from one situation to the other as myself.  Today, I let both of his children know that it was his birthday. Actually he misses spending time with them so, so that was my target of interest. They are almost grown and I want them to remember that their father is still a part of their life.  As i am alone there is nobody else in this world I would love more than to wish a happy birthday this month.  My deed in remembrance of my father was to help make someone else's birthday that is a father a special one.  He enjoyed his morning so very much with pancakes and scrambled eggs looking like a sun around the pancakes and two candles 49! I love it! They did it out of their heart and I had nothing but to remind them. Sitting here at home knowing that I made his day more meaningful and everybody is having fun at it, makes me know that my Daddy knows I love him too.  Have a blessed day my friends. Take care.
