Erica's birthday is Nov 23rd. She would have been 31 this year. It makes it harder when it falls on the holiday for some reason. I am not preparing any holiday dinner. I really don't feel the holiday spirit. I wished we could just skipped the 23rd every year. I know the day will come and go and I will survive as I have for the past 26 years. I just hate for the day to come because it means another year without seeing her or knowing her or loving her or maybe even fighting with her. She was my first born and I was young (17). She was funny, smart and pretty.but unfortunately she was only here on earth for a short time. She was 5 1/2 years when she was killed by a vehicle. She was at the babysitters and got there just a few minutes after it happen. I saw her laying on the road and unfortunately that is the image that I remember the most and the next 5 days on life support equipment at the hospital. I don't remember the touches of her small hand or kiss on my cheek. In therapy, a few years after the accident I was tasked with asking family for any stories about Erica because I couldnt remember hardly any. I still have the notepad with stories and pictures. lots of picture.
I have prepared her flower arrangement for her grave sight. My husband and I will drive up there on her birthday and put the flowers on her grave. Then w are going to try and find some restaurant for dinner.
i don't need a response back i think i just wanted others to know a special little girl is having her birthday on thanksgiving and to maybe say alittle prayer for our children on thanksgiving day.
