Since you were gone, this day that was once of joy and celebration is now longing and nostalgia. You are gone and you miss you instead.
On your birthday instead of blowing out candles, singing happy birthday and celebrating, we now gather in your memory, or remember you each in your own way.
But the truth is that today has changed. It is no longer a day of celebration, though we always happily remember the day of your birth and all the time you were with us.
Today is still a special day. It is the day when your memory is most present and alive, it is the day we pray and pray for your peace.
Wherever you are, your smile will always be alive in our memory and you will always be stored in our hearts.
