And you think on this special day that your loved ones who have passed
are not with you.  There you err.  Your very thoughts draw them near and they
think of you as well.  You cannot sever
the bonds of love, for without love you would not exist.  Talk to them today and every day, and know
that they hear you.  You need not speak
aloud.  Speak through the heart, most
especially if your head tries to tell you you are being silly.  The silliness is the thought that you could
ever have been apart from them or your Source. 
How can you separate love from Love? 

Happy birthday.
