So much of what you wrote hits home. My husband's father died at the age of 39 and when Mike (husband) turned 39 it was like a huge cloud descended on him. We got through it, but it was tough… every day was a constant reminder to him that he had now lived longer than the man who gave him life.

It's okay to be sad sometimes. At the end of the day, your 'new' age may remind you of their passing but the thought will also lead you to happy memories. Keep them close.

((Jon)) The blessing is that you have a wonderful family that loves you. Your brother's spirit and friend's spirit are around you always. I know it's hard thinking of all of the "but ifs" but I want you to give yourself a big hug and I'm giving you one too. You are a wise individual! Don't ever change!

I appreciate you though sharing your sensitive side with us. That is really big of you and I appreciate it.

Happy Birthday, Jon!
