My DH would have been 39 today

Hi everyone,

I've not posted in this area of MN so far but felt like I needed to come here today. My lovely husband died 3 years ago of a brain tumour and not a day goes by when I do not think about him or wonder what life would be like if he were still alive. My one regret is that he never got to meet his daughter, although I am sure he does know about her.

My husband was a kind, compassionate person with a great sense of humour and a passion for living life to the full. Many friends and even some family members just don't make mention of his birthday anymore but I want to celebrate his life, especially today.

Thanks for giving me the chance to do this here.

I think it is great that you can have so many happpy memories .
I also agree those you have loved should never be forgotten.
I would like to say all the best to you .

MOTN, what a kind & thoughtful gesture. I'm sure just knowing that others are aware of her loss, will help your DD's friend's mum to feel that she is not alone in all of this.

Thank you everyone for all the lovely toasts to my Mark.

I've just read each and every post on your OP Izabella and it has all brought a tear to my eye. It has suddenly made me realise how incredibly lucky I am to have a fit and well DH and two fit and well children and to never take any of them and their good health for granted.

Losing your DH must've been so extremely hard for you Izabella, especially as you were expecting your first child together - and what a beautiful baby she is.

I lost my Dad almost 3yrs ago - as a result of a car accident caused by a drunk driver. I think about him every day. I miss him dreadfully but I am grateful for the fact that he lived his life to the full and saw all his children grow up, get married and have families of their own.

Sending you and all the other posters on MN who have lost someone so dear to them all my love. xxxx
