I have a January birthday ...Happy belated birthday. I have a January birthday too. I hated it last year, not minding it too much this year as I keep forgetting about it. It must be strange (well, all kinds of adjectives, really) thinking of what could have been. Some milestones can bring things back into sharp relief, time is weird: I hope it's not too painful for you. I was going to sign off with greetings from a fellow Acquarian but I don't think you are one (must google the date range)...

That said, it can be hard on days to consider the alternative lives I could have had if things had gone differently. I hope your birthday was a day without too much 'hard' or too many sore knees! :)NotMyLinesYethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13341656344049375264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-51305721766065705942018-01-15T21:36:44.420-05:002018-01-15T21:36:44.420-05:00Oh yes, the knees, the knees!

I can relate, though I hide it!)<br /><br />And yes, ageing sucks, but it's still better than the alternative.<br /><br />And I too have (in particular) a niece who was born when I was pregnant with my first ectopic, and a great-nephew, whose mother was pregnant at the same time as I was with my second ectopic. I try not to think about what we've missed. But sometimes, the thoughts come, and whilst I can usually dismiss them, yes, sometimes they can still hurt.

Happy birthday ...I'm glad you're here, too! Happy birthday toooo yoooouuuu! Oh dear, I'm feeling my knees as well and fear it's not going to get any better, only worse. :) You have so much to be proud of in those 57 years, despite and maybe because of Katie's loss. It's hard to see the passage of time and the children who are older and older who share timeframes with those who were lost before their time. So hard. I'm glad those moments are few and far between for you, though. Wishing you a very happy birthday and many, many amazing years to come!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868505568965284742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-90608543167396904352018-01-15T14:53:20.182-05:002018-01-15T14:53:20.182-05:00Sending birthday wishes.

But I also look at all the wonder that is in your life that you and Dh have created. You have lived well despite the losses. And you’ve honored Katie along the way. That’s quite a testament to who you both are and how you’ve risen above.<br /><br />Wishing you many, many more birthdays and years on this planet.

I have nephews who were born about the same time as our failed treatments, and once in awhile I look at them and wonder about my couldabeen child, who would also now be about 19 or 20. It's a wistful way to mark time, isn't it?<br /><br />I hear what you're saying about bouncing back from a late night -- I rarely have those anymore.Lori Lavender Luzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394441222262940632noreply@blogger.com
