Personal Holidays

Dear Gabriel,

Whoever invented the tradition of celebrating on one's birthday is a genius. I want to kiss them. I LOVE my birthday... maybe that seems conceted to some, but when else does anyone get a chance to know how much everyone loves them? What better way to celebrate 'you' than on your own personal holiday?? It is awesome.

I am 32 years young today and I can't believe how much my life has ups and downs, ins and outs, crazy times and normal times... but every year I am constantly amazed at the love I feel from people on my birthday. For some reason, my whole life, I am always surprised when people remember me and take time out for just 'me'. I am not sure where that comes from, but it is part of my thought processes. When the people I love truly take time to celebrate 'me', that is NO greater feeling in the world during that moment!

What a great reminder for me to remember others also. Happy Personal Holiday To Me! And, better yet, you have given me the best gift of all... you are being so laid back today that I get to take a bath, lay out by the pool and relax, all the while you are just hanging out and playing happily. Thanks for your gift!

I love you,

Your Mom
