The first anniversary of my daughter's death is coming up this weekend. We are raising her 12 yr.old and left it up to her for activities. The week of the funeral last year saw my other 2 daughters and their husbands, plus my 2 yr.old grandaughter as houseguests/helpers,etc. We've gone on vacation with them so that's what it was like that week. We had lots to eat thanks to friends and relations. Lots of visitors which lent a party atmosphere. On quiet nights, we all played board games, like we do on vacation, so that's what we'll do. Our church gave us a candle with our daughter's name on it and we'll light that for an hour or so. We have a church service to attend for her and a cemetery visit, as well. I think there will be tears, but we'll be okay.
