Forty-three years ago yesterday my mom took a little time out of her day to have me. I have been thankful ever since.
Didn’t spend much time reflecting. I was too busy. But this morning I kind of looked back at yesterday. What an amazing day.
It was one of my best birthdays ever. Why? Simple:
1. My family was there with me. My sons took as much joy in me getting presents as I did. And the loved what they gave me. And I loved what they gave me, too.
2. I got a gagillion Facebook birthday wishes. And I tried to thank every single person who sent me one. After the last month, it’s nice to know I have so much support out there.
3. I received cool birthday gifts. One of my favorites was a Sid the Cussing Rabbit puppet from the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson Show.
4. We had an awesome family lunch at Char (thank you gift card). My three-year-old was good as gold (I love bringing a three-year-old into a fancy restaurant.)
Yes, crazy things are going on but its all good. I’m alive. I’m cancer-free. I’m blessed to have a great family. All the other stuff is just stuff.
You deserved a great birthday!
nothing better than having family around to bring the joy and to make the day more memorable.
