Stumbled onto a wonderful blog tonight and wanted to share a post I wish I'd written. Hope you'll read it and file it away for future reference. I know I will.
ETA: When I posted this last night, I had no idea I'd have need of it so soon. A long lost friend from high school just contacted me via Facebook to let me know her only daughter had passed away last week. She said she just needed to talk to someone who would understand--and unfortunately I do.

Happy Birthday
Today marks the 32nd birthday of my oldest daughter Shana. Most of you know we lost her in 2006. The past three years have been a rough road, but I think I may have finally turned a corner. While feeling a little melancholy this morning, I'm not sad and depressed like I've been in the past. I miss Shana so much sometimes I can hardly breathe. But today I'm going to be happy. Happy that she was with us as long as she was. Grateful for the time we had together. Grateful for the sweet spirit she brought to our family. Appreciation for the daughter, sister, aunt, and friend she was. Thankful for the love and fierce loyalty she gave to those closest to her.
In tribute to Shana, I want to share a few songs she loved or that meant something to the two of us. Hope you enjoy.
