Well the day has just about ended. the kids actually treated me to dinner for real and paid for dinner. they even treated me to an Ice cream cake. What a day. I am blessed. We shared stories about when they were little and I read the Dr. Suess Book "the Birthday Bird" to each one of them year after year on their day. they each remembered it. they had to ask me to stop doing it when they were old enough. That was hard to give up. I love being a dad.
I passed W on the road today...she didn't even acknowledge me. this is my first birthday in 17 years without her. Calls, texts and FB birthday wishes came in by the dozens. I heard from this group too. I am blessed. I had a few small twinges that W was quiet. With each day, I put her more in my rear view mirror. her choice really....Life is calling. time to see what's out there
