today was my birthday. I had recently deactivated Facebook and I’m afraid to admit that’s how I remember a lot of my friends birthdays because me and numbers and math are a bad combination..
I’ve often found that Facebook fills your feed with birthday wishes, and I think it’s because people feel obligated when they see it’s your birthday. it was different to have a year where it was no obligations, and just the true people in your life that have your birthday in their memory or their date book.. and to be filled with text messages from the people that I would say are my diehards, wishing me happy birthday, because they truly remembered. from the friends that live afar and drive over to give a present or a cupcake. The neighbors that take care of the night and order the pizza. The people from the past, and the people from the present that just make your day so special. when I picked ed Jack up tonight, he had made me a card and it was probably one of my most favorite things of the day. His OT teacher helped to make it and on the back he put a unicorn. as I sit here tonight, alone in this apartment, that has held my space for a year I feel so amazingly blessed at the souls that have been in my life. . and I’m happy to say if anything happened to me in my life was cut short today made me realize how blessed I am, and that I am so happy and joyful for the people I’ve met and that’s all that matters.
