Birthdays are a great opportunity to really appreciate those who care about you most. In my class, four other people celebrated birthdays today and it wouldn't have surprised me if they went out partying and dancing the night away to celebrate. I, on the other hand, had a quiet, delicious dinner with Justine, followed by some great conversations with the people who mattered to me most.
First, my best friend Stacey called me, then my loving parents (who serenaded me with their rendition of "happy birthday"). I shall not mention Simon...(he forgot...that is until I reminded him!). And an old friend Warren called as well. It was just so wonderful hearing from these people. I value them all very much.
And just when you think there was too much love, I also should mention that I went out to dinner last weekend with Uncle Alex, Auntie Elaine, Grandma, Uncle Tak, Auntie Vienna, Carmen and Alishya to celebrate Justine and my birthday. There was so much food, ranging from lobster to Taro (both of which are my favorite foods!) I could not have asked for a more caring family. And better still...I could not have asked for more doggy bags!
