As birthday weekends go, this one wasn't that bad, even with the absence of red velvet cake (dang it). Plus the "Arctic Hammer" (seriously???) waited till my oldest brother's birthday to hit. Many years ago, he almost got a sister for his birthday. Now I almost got an arctic blast for mine. I'll leave that to others to judge who's luckier.
Birthdays are a chance to think about how your life has gone and how you hope it will go in the future. To that end, a few thank yous must be made.
Thanks, Mama, for teaching me right from wrong and the power of kindness, and for passing down your sense of humor, love of reading and learning, and fierce love of family.
