Aw...Many, many big ...(Now that I've read....)<br /><br />Aw...Many, many big hugs, Star. I'm so sorry that Roger won't be here for your big day and that you won't have any more gifts from him. It hurts, I know....<br /><br />What I've ended up doing is buying a special, usually absurdly expensive (relatively speaking, compared to the budget limits Charley and I would have set jointly) gift for myself...for my birthday or Christmas or occasionally Mother's Day. It's not the same as if it was something from Charley, but at least I get something nice and that I possibly wouldn't have gotten (for myself or from anyone else) otherwise. And hell, in my case, it's usually something <i>nicer</i> than Charley would have given me. Me? Compensating? Never. ;o)<br /><br />It's never the same...but it can help a little...or at least it has for me. I'm so sorry for all of this, Star. <br /><br />xoxo<br />CandiceCandicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11637366044613952294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918105604270007470.post-46824116709910407422009-09-24T17:36:40.778-04:002009-09-24T17:36:40.778-04:00Wow...really? Your birthday's a week away? The...Wow...really? Your birthday's a week away? Then that means...[checking my calendar]...yup, mine's only 2 weeks away now. Huh. I hadn't really started thinking about it yet, thought it was still a month of or so. Oops.<br /><br />I haven't read your post at all yet except for the 1st sentence but wanted to post my first thought first.
