Husband would have tuned 41 today. Weird day. We ate a simple pasta dish he liked and kid#1 made his favourite cake. Also talked with MIL.

Talked to the kids a bit about grief, how when you think you got it, it catches you by surprise, how I feel about their dad and that everyone expresses and deals with grief differently.

Sending you strength and love on this difficult day. It's okay to feel the waves of grief, they ebb and flow in their own time. Your openness with the kids is truly commendable. Stay strong.
