Its my birthday the first one since hubby died,so instead of thinking off not having him here, I celebrated my birthday with a cup of coffee and a cream cake that I shared with the dog.Yes I wish he was here,but to know he,s free from the pain of a fractured hip ,chest infection and of course the dementia,I couldnt wish him back,he,s still here with me I have photos of him in every room,its gives me the comfort to have him around even in a photo,
I am glad

Happy birthday ...cream cake yummy! This may not be to everyone's taste but a couple of years before dad died when he was a bit more coherent and less grumpy some days I recorded a couple of minutes video of him singing and chuckling which I look at from time to time. Even though he was in the grips of moderate dementia by then and had some very challenging days it helps me to smile and remember the soft pre dementia dad.
Happy Birthday Marmalade. I do hope you can enjoy your special day with thoughts of happy times. Glad you have a dog, they are such lovely companions.
Happy birthday, @Marmalade,
You are not alone as long as you have your memories in your heart and a faithful hairy friend by you
