I need help guys today is my birthday and I am 10 days post op. Every year we went out to my favorite restaurant and a movie, but now I need a new tradition. This is my second birthday without my mom and it's already an emotional day I just want to do something special. Any suggestions?

Im in east islip pretty close

Go to a salon with a couple of girl friends' date=' get a massage, mani, pedi, etc. You'll feel like a million bucks and really enjoy a good movie! Happy birthday![/quote']

That sounds like a great idea! Happy Birthday.

Happy birthday! I told my husband, kids, family for any holiday I want gift cards. With my sizes changing so much I just can't afford all the clothes. So for Christmas, Valentine's day, birthday, anniversary..it's racked up. Mother's day is tomorrow and I can't wait.lol I know it's not dinner out but I really enjoy shopping now. Most don't have expiration dates so you can use them whenever you need to. I had saved up 500.00 in cards and have spent half of it and saving the rest for summer clothes,,I've had a blast with them.

Starting next birthday you could find a 5k to run in honor of your mom.

So sorry for your loss :-( its so super hard!

I lost my mom two years ago also...it's just now starting to get a tiny bit easier to get thru the holidays (birthdays, mothers day etc)

I know how you feel, hang in there!
