Last night at work I sang
"It's going to be my birthday and not yours" and did a jig. I wasn't faking it I was happy about it.
This morning it's here the big day. Flip that 5 to a 6. I feel a bit sad about it
Today is Ryans birthday too. Derek's middle name sake. He's flipping a number too.
Today is also a little girls birthday who should be eating cake, doing a happy dance, maybe taking cupcakes to class, having a party with all of her friends but she's not. She passed away last week just days before her 7th birthday. I think of Elena today and her sister and her family. Elena they believe had come in contact with menegitis and passed just so quickly so unexpectedly. My heart aches for her family. While I know she's having a grand wonderful birthday maybe everyday is her birthday where she is now, it's still hard for her family today.
Her family would like everyone to remember a girl so full of smiles and energy. A girl who spoke to every person she meet. Who knew the garbage man, the crossing guard. They would like all of us to take a moment and give an extra smile. An extra "how's your day?" or "how's your family?" to the person who serves your coffee, serves your lunch, bag's your groceries. Just a few small moments today, moments today you might not have tomorrow.
I think that would be the best present ever too.
Happy Birthday Ryan, Elena and oh and me too.

Tamm somethimg's wrong with my email but I can get to internet so this is the best place to send you a note.
I sent something off first thing this morning so of course, as per the norm, it'll be late. Better late than never that is my motto yessiree.
Enjoy your day. Have a happy birthday, it's your special day. The day you were born and all that jazz.
Elena. Yes. Happy Birthday to her to the nth degree. She is celebrating in Heaven, I know she is. I know her parents are very sad today. I almost can't find the words about it all. There isn't anything anyone can say that will really touch what they are feeling, that will even come close to making them feel better. So. I won't. Just a simple Happy Birthday to Elena in Heaven.
March 3rd. Can't believe it's March 3rd.
Hope my email gets fixed by my honey. Hate that.
Love you.

Happy Birthday to you! Thanks for popping over to see me at my site. You are one of the lonely few. I promise I will get to telling you what happened. Soon. Meanwhile, I will keep lurking here.
I hope someone spoiled you rotten today. I bet you deserve it.
