AndysMom

The first anniversary of my son Andy's death is coming up this week. We wanted to make the day special and spend it with my surviving son, his wife and our two year old grandson. We made plans to spend the day doing some of Andy's favorite things - baseball in the park, water skiing, boating - maybe even spending some time at the zoo, with a barbecue of his favorite foods to finish off the day... unfortunately the weather is calling for rain and maybe even snow (no, we don't live in the Yukon!) so a day outside isn't looking likely. What do other people do to make this day special? We don't' belong to a church, our son isn't buried so visiting a grave-site isn't an option. Does anyone have any ideas that will allow us to be together and celebrate his life, rather than just feel sad over his death? Any suggestions would be helpful! Thanks, Linda Darcy
