happy birthday❤️

we celebrate your birthday on earth, we thank God for you were born.

Today, we miss you terribly. We grieve in the presence of friends and family who cherished you. We celebrate your life, even in death.

On these commemorative events when you should be here with us, allowing us to give you birthday presents, we miss you even more.

It's a sad truth that loved ones sometimes leave us before their time, and certainly before ours. What people often don't understand is that as loved ones, there are occasions on which we are bound to remember them most strongly and most fondly: Christmas, New Year, and, of course, their Birthday.
