Re: Helppp Posted by Rania on 11/5/2009, 12:30 pm, in reply to "Helppp" 94.66.59.23 In Greece it's the same too. At least for one year after a family member's death, we don't celebrate. I won't celebrate Christmas of New Year's Eve, neither my dad's name day or mine. But If I had a little child and it was her or his birthday, I would sure do. Go with the feeling! Your dad would love his grandson's birthday party  Post a Response

Re: Helppp Posted by Cesca on 11/5/2009, 11:32 am, in reply to "Helppp" 66.60.188.4 Hi Rosy, In Italy it's the same, Ahmad passed in July and Gianmarco had his 3rd birthday in September, 2 days before mine, I didn't celebrate mine, but I did celebrate Gianmarco's, because I knew his father didn't want him to miss it, he always found a reason to celebrate, so I did and I know he was there with us to celebrate his son's 3rd birthday, the first one of many without him. So, I'm sure your dad wants you to celebrate his grandson's birthday and I'm also sure he's going to be there, and your dad will show up in one way or another on the pictures you're going to take. All my love & bear hugs to you and your family, Cesca ♥♥♥  Post a Response

Re: Helppp Posted by Renee on 11/5/2009, 9:54 am, in reply to "Helppp" 216.124.224.51 Rosy, there are cultural norms everywhere, and really, all they are is a way to keep a little semblence of order among a large group of otherwise diverse people. So, in other words, if you want to have a party to celebrate your dear son's 5th birthday, then by all means you should celebrate. Don't worry at all about what is normal or expected. Just follow your heart on this matter.  Post a Response
