Yesterday was Mal's 21st birthday. I can only imagine the celebration that took place in Heaven.
Birthdays come once a year, some are special, 1st birthday, 16th, 21st, 100th, and those celebrated in Heaven. Those celebrated in Heaven are ones that make you cry just a little harder and, just a little longer.
Each year, I celebrate the girls with cake. Even though they are not here, they deserve to be celebrated. They deserve to be celebrated just like those that are here but, they deserve it a little more.
I think I do a lot of things most probably feel are strange but hey, that's just me. I have my way of remembering and you can have your way as well. I like for everyone to remember.
But, I also quit worrying what people thought January of last year and by the end of last year, I became a changed person. Sometimes, you have to change to find your true purpose.
Birthdays, they happen every year for everyone, even those that are no longer here. Sometimes, you have to just remember that we do not always do everything the same and you know what, it is okay. Eat that cake for your angel. Share the memories and never stop celebrating the life they lived.
1 Thessalonians 5:16 "Rejoice always...."
