Birthday

This is my first birthday without Joe. I took him up a piece of cake which I think he'd have appreciated. It's amazing the silly things you do. The feelings of loss and sadness at these times are immeasurable. And they build up for days. Although I hoped for a special something from the family to remind me of Joe and acknowledgement of his loss sadly that didn't happen. Today feels like just another day with added pain and sadness.

Don't worry though, I'm fine. Just verbalising. X
