Happy Birthday??!!??

September 29th.....my birthday. 6 months ago, my 2nd angel daughter, Peyton, was born. It's no wonder that I don't feel excited about this. I have found that since losing Quinn, my birthday has always been a source of great inner disappointment.

While I do look forward to going out with friends and family, I can't help but feel crushed. If Peyton had been born into this world alive, she would be a touch over 2 months old; not dead for 6 months.

Like I mentioned in a previous post, my birthday always reminds me of the hopes and dreams that I had envisioned.....and they're gone. I was *supposed* to be a mother nearly 4 years ago, but this birthday brings me to the age of 29. Normally, an age that is still very young, but to me, right now, it feels very old.

I can't help but wonder what the next year will bring............................................................................
I guess I will pull up my socks from here and hope that I do, in fact, have a happy birthday.

How is it possible that it's been 6 months? How does it seem like an endless amount of time - but as if it was just last night at the same time?

Why does time warp like that when all you want it to do is stop?

I'm so sorry honey ... and Happy Birthday ((((HUGS))))
