Tomorrow should have been Robert's 2nd birthday. I am really scared of tomorrow. How will I react? Just seeing pics from one of my friends son's 2nd bday party had me a sobbing mess. Tomorrow will also be the first time I will be at Robert's grave without the kids. Just the Hubby and I. That could be bad....really, really bad. Usually when we go I obsessivly clean off Robert's head stone. Then the Hubby starts losing it so I go to the other end of Robert's row & start to obsessivly clean Preston's head stone (Preston is one of the Hubby's Army buddies who 3 months after they came home from Iraq died in a motorcycle accident ~ we burried him on the Hubby & Princess B's bday). After I have cleaned his head stone I head back towards Robert's, but go a row behind & start to clean another of the Hubby Army buddies (he died from head trama after a fist fight). Needless to say I usually try & keep myself busy when we go to the Veteran's Cemetary where my baby is.
I plan on spending a lot of time there tomorrow. I don't think the Hubby will want to, but I NEED to. I need to sit there & grieve. Very raely do I lose it & when I do it is bad. So, I am getting my drinking in tonight my friends. Why tonight & not tomorrow? Well, you see, I can't drink when I take my "high octane" pills as I like to call them. That little extra to calm me down when I can't calm myself down. I have this funny feeling I will need them in a ddition to the anxiety drugs I am already on since Robert's death.
After we go wish Bubby Happy Birthday my dear sister-in-law has offered to take me out for a pedi. Hopefully getting out of the house & getting pampered will help me forget even for the littest bit what a sad day tomorrow is.
In Dec, 2008 we lost our perfectly healthy son Robert to SUDC (Sudden Unknown Death of a Child.) This is not only his story,but mine too. A mother who is without her youngest child & struggles everyday to put on a smile for her daughter, step-son & husband even though my heart is broken.Sometimes things will be funny, sometimes they will break your heart,but I hope that by keeping Robert in not only our hearts,but also yours, his death will not be in vain.

I know, I suck at this bloging thing!
I haven't blogged in a while, but there is a good reason for that. I usually blog when I am really depressed or really drunk. Both have happened a lot lately, but I just haven't had the energy to blog. Don't worry though, as we get closer & closer to Robert's 2nd birthday I have LOTS to say! Get your extra large box of tissues ready because I'll be holding nothing back & it will get sad...sorry but that's just the way it will be. I gave you fair warning!!
