Day 1 - a song that reminds you of your child, or one that you can't listen to anymore and why.
The song that reminds me most of Kennedy is "You are my Sunshine." My parents sang it to me as a baby and little girl and it was the song I wanted to sing to Kennedy most of all. It has become extremely difficult for me to even hear now because I only connect it with her now.
"You are my sunshine.
My only sunshine.
You make me happy when skies are gray.
You'll never know dear,
how much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away."
Day 2 - a movie that helped you get through the hard times, or one that jumps out at you after your loss.
It sounds way silly....but I got hooked on Ghostbusters while I was on leave. Two silly movies that made me smile and remember happier times. My favorite part is when they are in the Statue of Liberty trying to save the city of New York. :)
Day 3 - a television program that helped you either get through hard times or that moves you.
As many others have posted already, and I have even posted before....I LOVE GLEE!! Thank you Ryan Murphy for creating a show that made me laugh, cry and sing all within the same hour. I needed this show....and it came out right when I needed it most of all.
Day 4 - your favorite book. has it changed since your loss?
As I eagerly await the final movie and try to finish the last book, Harry still sits as King of my favorite books/series. Similar to Glee, I tend to become quite the addict when it comes to cult favorites. Although, I haven't fallen for Twilight yet. I (heart) Harry Potter!

I LOVE GLEE!!! I'm a total Gleek ;)
I like the Harry Potter books too - actually, anything that kind of takes out of this world and plops you into a different place. So, I totally get why silly and fun movies would have been so helpful!
Glee was a big outlet for me too! But I did have to turn the other way during Quinn's labor scene :(
I am emotional about You are My Sunshine too...My parents used to sing that to me when I was a girl, and I was so looking forward to sharing that with Drew.
Okay, so, no Twighlight yet!? You've gotta..you'll love it if you love Harry.
You are my Sunshine is very hard for me to hear now because my aunt who died in March last year not only sang it to me but called me sunshine right up to the last day when she saw me. No one else in my family has ever called me sunshine as if it were reserved for her to nickname me. sigh
