**What did you do on your baby's anniversary/ birthday (sensitive)**

Tomorrow is the second year since my son was born and passed away. I am trying to decide how I want to spend his day. I don't think I will be able to go to the cemetery tomorrow although I should be able to Saturday. It is an hour away and my husband is working an odd shift and I think it will be hard to go by myself with the baby.

I bought a candle today shaped like a 2 so we can light it and sing to him. I also made up a basket of baby stuff that I donated for needy babies in his memory.

I am thinking I would rather be busy tomorrow doing something rather than sitting quietly at home wishing for a noisy, messy happy 2 year old party.

Will you share what special things you have done to remember and honor your LO?

    I usually buy some kind of flowers to plant, preferably something that comes back every year.

    First and foremost ((HUGS)). For the last two anniversaries/birthdays we always take the day off of work. We visit the cemetary, I stop at a gas station and buy nachos and a smoothie - Ace always used to wiggle around whenever I ate them, so I took that as a sign that he liked them. After the cemetary we try to do something fun - sort of a way to live the day for him. The first year we went to the aquarium, last year we went up to the mountains. I don't know what we'll do this year - but it is a very important day for me and I try to make an incredible effort to have fun. I'll be thinking of you guys tomorrow. (((MORE HUGS)))

    Hugs to you mama.
    On the day I lost him I just lit a candle and tried to go about my business as usual. On his EDD I made a cake, lit one candle on it, sang happy birthday, then split the cake among my brother's and sisters.
    Im going to participate in the MISS Foundation's Kindness Project this year on his angelversary.
