August 16th

[utmom2008]

I'll watch a marathon of Elvis movies, go to my favorite hamburger place, Fuddrucker's and sit in the Elvis booth and re-read one of my many Elvis books.

I like that idea Lisa. That sounds very personal and reflective.

well usually i have an all elvis music day and sometimes go out to see an elvis show so i will probably do the same this year but also this year i am going to get my very first and only elvis tattoo so that should be fun but its still a long way away

I think I'll go into a self induced coma to get through it!!!

We can do something together...it will be the first August 16th for us since we were mere babies.

You are so brave! I know I could never do that - tatoos are too painful! Do you know what picture exactly you are going to have done?

Around here, my family dreads two dates...January 8, and August 16...because I go into what they affectionately term "mourning". It is worse though in August. January is more of a celebration of his life. August always brings to light the things that he sought so desperately, but probably never attained here on earth. Peace of mind. True happiness. And a freedom from the burdens of his demons. So, after I spend the whole day cramming as much "Elvis" into it as I possibly can...I have myself a real humdinger of a cry...complete with crocodile tears...and then I fall asleep listening to his music. Guess you could say I get real E-motional on that day...

Thank you, dearest Lea. You, and Elvisb, are very special to my heart, Lea. It's amazing how people are brought together, against all odds. You have been an amazing friend to me, too, gracias.

Yes, it will hurt. But, if that's what you want, go for it, just remember to show us!

Well,first of all...I'm really sad that day...I'm thinking of August 16th 1977... I listen ONLY to Elvis(not that i listen to something else other days-just kiddin'),I light as many candles I can until that miserable day is over and finally I look at this site and searching some threads like this one who have as a main topic August 16th...
