Insp: Birthdays are a time for celebration

We were talking about "firsts" just recently.
Sad to see that Michelle passed away a month or so after her mother posted
here.

From the blog her mother's maintaining....

Birthday are a time for celebration
Not a time for tears.
But what happens when the birthdays
No longer mark the years?

A birthday marks the moment
A spirit enters earthly life
To share its special love and joy
And learn from earthly strife.

Before a spirit comes to us
It knows when and how it must depart.
It chose it path carefully,
We are honored from the start.

The sadness we now feel
On such a joyous day
It longing for our loved one's touch
It natural to feel this way.

For even though the birthdays,
No longer mark a spirit's stay,
Love continues on forever
To touch us everyday.

So hug your precious memories
Closer to your heart
And honor your beloved spirit child
Who chose you from the start

Happy birthday michelle
