Thanks all...made it through...today is another day...it always seems to come up so fast (I seem to not consciously realize it's approaching, but usually have a pretty crappy previous couple of weeks), and then that day it hits like a ton of bricks.

Appreciate your prayers...
 
I can't say I understand your specific situation, but one like it. I always seem to have a very dissatisfying week or two before the anniversary of my Godmother's death [we were incredibly close] and I can't ever realize why. Then it's the day of and somehow I get a "lifted" feeling where all the stresses seem to go away and I can relax and reflect.
 
I lost twins, a boy and a girl on November 6, 2007, and I know the feelings that you have. I dread having to go to the cemtary next week, and I feel bad for feeling that way. There is just something about going and seeing their stone that makes it so, I don't know, real or permanent. Didn't mean to go on and on, but my heart aches for you and your loss.
 
I can't imagine your pain.
 
(((Hugs))) to each of you who have lost little ones! :(
