Katie and I mainly celebrate Mum in our birthdays by talking about her, reminiscing and sometimes going through our memory boxes.
How do you celebrate your loved one on your birthday?

Thanks sharing this.

Not much celebration here; Anita and I take each other to our favorite restaurants (for take-out during covid hibernation). The rest of the family is too far away, and so get a card and a call. 😊

My grandfather died right around my birthday. I do think of him on my birthday, but I prefer to think of him more on his own birthday, which so happens to be a few weeks later. It’s less because it’s my birthday and more that I want to focus more on the fact that he lived rather than the day that he died. Similarly, my close friend died on my sister’s wedding day. I prefer to focus my remembrance of her on her own birthday rather than on the day she died, which is my sister and brother-in-law’s anniversary. It is more customary in my circles to remember the deceased on the day they died, but for me, I would rather celebrate the fact that they lived. They are no longer with us, which is hard, but I’m grateful for the time we had.
Thats a gorgeous suggestion 🤍 thank you so much for sharing this with us x
Not so much a celebration, but I have a few of my late dad’s voicemails saved, including ones where he left me a birthday message. 💗
Thats so gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing 🤍
It certainly is special. 💖 You are welcome.

Definitely talking about memories. Looking at old photos. Importantly remembering to get on with living the day.
Thats so true <3 Thank you so much for sharing xx
