Happy Birthday!`

My son is 25 today. It's hard to believe that 25 years ago I was 23 years old and helping (I hope) to bring a new life. Life is funny. It twist and turns and comes out not what you thought it might be. Some good, some not so good. In retrospect, others have it bad and we don't appreciate what is good in our lives. You don't think when you're in your twenties that you will be without some of the important people in your life. Please, take time to appreciate those people and treasure your time with them. As I wish my son Happy Birthday, I also bid a farewell to my Mom who left us not soon after his 21st birthday. I hate to be so maudlin at the same time but it can come without contact with those you love, living or dead. Rest well in whatever you do. With love.
