Today is August 12, 9 days after Betty's 13th birthday. This year was tough. It was the first year we celebrated Betty's birthday without Baylie. It felt empty. And sad. I'm not looking forward to October. I don't know how we are getting over 1 Oct without Baylie this year. It would have been her 14th birthday. I know it is a relief for her, away from daily needles and drugs. I just don't think we are ready to embrace a 14th birthday without Baylie. And my 34th birthday without Baylie. It's difficult
