I forgot to comment. Just breaks your heart to see him grieve. My husband died June 20th my birthday was one month after July 20th I did not even celebrate. Of course I do not have so many loved ones as Tom does.

Oh Tom, the firsts are always hard when you loose someone you loved so dearly. Hang in there, you have such so much support around you. Its okay to cry and grieve. The kids seem to be coping and doing well. Asher seems to have really stepped up with little Hannah. Remember, its okay to change and adapt. You dont have to do things the way Andrea did them if its not working anymore. We are all here for you and the kids! Love from Australia!

Your son "why are you crying....because you're happy" and later when you open pictures of you and Andrea, he gives you hugs. Beautiful boy, so caring. Lovely outing and gathering for your birthday meal, everyone supporting you. The cake looked yummy!

I was doing really well then Solomon hugged you and I lost it.. I was once told the way you know you loved someone and they left a permanent mark on your heart is how much you miss them.. I always always loved Andrea and your family, I never knew just how much of an impact she had on me until she sadly passed away. Not everyone gets to say they left a positive footprint on this earth. Andrea sure did and that is something that I hope that brings you and your children pride. She touched many lives and it may seem odd since many of us never met her but I truly grieve and miss her and know she is proud of how your family pulled together and is keeping her memory alive. Happy belated Birthday and I am so happy that your children have such a great role model to continue to look up to
