Celebrating important events late is something that in our family has become standard practice. Birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, you name it, are rarely celebrated on that special day. Life has a way of putting some things on the back burner but never makes it less exciting and worthy of special attention. When life allows the event to be recognized, let the appreciation for that day be filled with fond memories.
Sharing all that you mention, experiences, joys, sorrows, and memories among other things, and feeling comfortable enough to do so makes this community, that you tirelessly help to guide, so much fun!
I hope you have a wonderful and happy weekend!
