I'm finally back from vacation. We left on what should have been Corbin's first birthday. Before we left, we went to visit him at the cemetery and met DH's family there (they live close, mine does not). We sang Happy Birthday, left him gifts, launched balloons and ate chocolate cupcakes. DH's mom bought every monkey birthday party favor she could find so we were all wearing monkey hats and noise makers. It was the first time our niece and nephews had visited Corbin (ages 6, 5 and 4). They made some really sweet comments, asked really good questions, even a few funny ones (my 6 year old nephew touched his stone and said "what did he eat for dinner last night, ice? it's so cold!" - (it was cold out that morning). Overall it was a good day, got a bit choked up when the plane took off but I always do anymore. Anyway, no real point to this, just wanted to share my son's first birthday party.

Heaven got another angel the night you left this world behind
Heaven got a little better the day it took you away from me
Missing you tonight, see you again sometime
For now I'll close my eyes and dream of heaven tonight
I'll love you forever
I'll like you for always
Now and Forever
My baby you'll be

Re: Birthday celebration
Thanks for sharing! It sounded wonderful. I'm sure Corbin was smiling down on you. And that was an adorable comment from your nephew. Kids have a way of saying the best things.
I was thinking about you the other day and was curious when you would be back! How was your vacation?

Sounds like a wonderful celebration. I'm glad the family came out to celebrate!
Also glad you had a good vacation! You are certainly living life, but living life does not mean ceasing to grieve for your son. ((hugs))
The bolded part made me smile.
Thanks for sharing, I know Corbin was looking down on you and loved his celebration.
I'm glad you had a nice trip, and it must've been so special to light the candles for him.
