Remembering My Son Hunter on New Year’s Day
I wanted to take the time to wish everyone a Happy New Year. I hope this year brings you everything you hopI wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a Happy New Year. I hope this year brings you everything you’re hoping for.
New Year’s Day is a difficult one for me, and I hope this post doesn’t bring anyone down. I just want to share my thoughts and feelings, and maybe someone else can find comfort in them too.
Today, my oldest son would be 32. He was born at 3:32 a.m. on New Year’s Day in 1993. I miss him so much, especially on days like today. He was so much fun to be around. His friends would tell you that he was always the one people congregated around and that he was always happy. I’m so glad I was his mom for the 20 years he was here. We were really close, and I feel like we grew up together.
I understand when people say that time makes it easier after you lose someone. It’s true that most days are okay, but there are still moments when something reminds me of him, and I feel that deep ache again. Still, I know he wouldn’t want me to be sad.
Happy Birthday, Hunter. You are the best.
