Yesterday we celebrated Kobe's 8th birthday. We just did the usual....blew out candles on a cake and ENJOYED ;) I remember the first few years after his death that I felt like I had to do something big & special or else I would be a bad mother. Is it weird that I don't feel like that anymore. I mean....I know where he is and I know he is doing great things and he is certainly not worried about wether or not we have a big celebration for him. So am I a bad mother??
I just can't believe it's been 8 years. Kobe would be getting baptised this year...a milestone that I should be sad to miss right? But I have a silver lining. My son is already perfect. That gives me joy.
There were a few really difficult months that I wondered how I would ever move on...but I did. Does it mean I forgot? Certainly not. But it's not a tragedy anymore, his life was & is a miracle that I am really grateful for! How often do you get to see God perform such a huge miracle as Kobe was? We are so blessed!!
Happy Birthday Kobe!!!

This was beautiful, Kim. You are a wonderful mother. :)
You are an AMAZING mother, and you are absolutely right. You have great faith and that's what Kobe wants. He wants to know you will all make it back to him. Happy 8th Birthday Kobe!
That was beautiful. Kobe was such a sweet little guy. Happy birthday!
Agreed! You are a marvelous mother! I can't believe it's been 8 years yet either! Time flies! Happy Birthday Kobe! We love you!
That was very well said. I love Kobe and all of your family. What a blessing he is.
