Today the boys would be TWO years old

This is the reason that I wanted to go to the beach. My sweet boy's birthday is the day after mine and I just wanted to get away from it all. I just wanted to be where I could think of them and smile or cry. When we woke up this morning, we wanted to walk on the beach one more time before we packed up and left. The boys were the first thing I thought about when I woke up. I shared my plan to write their names in the sand with Dicky & he volunteered his toothbrush for the job. The sand was so cold on our feet when we made the trek down toward the ocean. I wrote Happy Birthday first and we quickly snapped a picture before the waves totally washed it away. Dicky wrote his birthday wishes next and we snapped several more pictures. While I was waiting on him to finish up, the tears started coming... While I know they are in a better place of peace and total happiness, I get selfish & feel sorry for myself and wish they were here with us. At least someday we will all be united with them again.
