Today is Catherine's 33rd birthday. I was thinking this morning that her birthday is the anniversary of the best day of my life, and I will never regret that day no matter how much suffering her death too soon caused eighteen years later. . Today we didn't do anything special , as the weather is really awful, very rainy. However, I went over to her grave and stood there for a few minutes in the rain, thinking about the day she was born and all the happiness she brought for 18 years. Meanwhile my husband had planned to take a friend in a nursing home the host from his Catholic Church . A few days ago he and the friend decided to go over to the cemetery where the friend's wife is buried. It was her birthday also, or another important date, not sure which. By "chance" it turned out to be the same day as Catherine's birthday. The friend had carnations for his wife's grave, and insisted that my husband take half of them for Catherine!Vera
