Not fair...
Eleven years ago my Grandpa Wilson passed away on my 25th birthday.
Today is my 16th Anniversary....and my Grandma Wilson just passed away.
I guess the best gift they gave to me was a reason to remember them and celebrate them forever on two significant days of my life. I'll definitely never forget these two dates.

Yeah, amidst the sadness of finding out Grandma had passed away, I must admit, we did have a little chuckle when we realized it was your anniversary. They just really wanted to be remembered I guess. Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary to you! Love you!
When Grandma died Kimberly asked me when Grandpa died and after I told her we looked at the calender and noticed the same thing. It's sad, but it does make it easier to remember!
I wanted to share some good news with you. Yesterday our new daughter was born. She is so sweet and we are so grateful to have her here! There are pics on my blog.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Laurie. I love your attitude. My dad passed away the same week as our anniversary (8 years ago next month) and for a couple of years the memory of his death always overshadowed our anniversary for me. (It's taken me a long time to come to terms with my dad's death.)
My husband finally said that we were taking back that week and now we're back to celebrating us. I can now think of my dad that week and smile instead of cry. It's a time to remember my dad and remember his joy for us on the day we were married.
