Today is my birthday. Hummmm not such a great year. Since my last birthday I gained 10 pounds and lost You. That's not a good year, not a good 365 days. If I had known then what I know now, I would have gone to the wall for you. I would have called you everyday, I would have invited you over for dinner. I would have bought you stuff. I would have sent you Halmark cards every holiday. I would have gone to Church with you, support groups, spin class, yoga, skating, whatever. I would have done it.
I can not believe I will never see you again. That really makes me unhappy, really, really unhappy. I never wanted you to leave. I NEVER WANTED YOU TO LEAVE! DID YOU HEAR THAT? NEVER EVER!
Now I will just have to live everyday as if I might lose something. Now I will have to sing a little sweeter, give a little harder, listen a little better, work a little harder, live a little better. Next birthday I am not doing this again. Happy Birthday to me.

Hi Sally. It is so beautiful to see you express so much love here for Doug. We don't know each other, but I became aware of Doug's passing through Doug's father.
It's hard for any of us to understand why such a young man would be taken away from us with so much future in front of him. But I know where Doug is because my sister is with him. She left our family very suddenly and unexpectedly as well about 2 years ago.
I do find comfort in knowing Doug is with God and will live on and through the many lives he touched in his short time here. He is still all around you, sweet Sally.
You are so inspirational for pulling this site together for Doug. I'm sending you many Happy Birthday wishes filled with happy moments and loads of love.
