Forever 29. Every parent who has lost a child from this earth knows exactly what that means.

Since this is the birthday week of Laura’s daughter, Becca, she decided to talk about how difficult their birthdays can be, especially when those around us think we should be “moving on” and don’t understand why this day is still so important to us.

Laura shares some encouragement in this area as well, along with various ideas on how to celebrate our child’s birthday, even while deeply missing them.

You will also get to hear Laura sing the entire song that she wrote, “I Remember Well” which plays in the background of each week’s birthday segment.

Today’s episode was sponsored by Dave and Laura Diehl, in memory of their daughter, Becca Diehl Howard. If you would like to sponsor a podcast episode for your child, click here.

    Jessi loved to travel with us so we are distributing some of her ashes in each of the four oceans to honor her.

      Wow, Kathy, that is precious! My heart goes out to you – what a strange thing for a parent to have to consider, isn’t it? Love and hugs!
