a perfect day

i thought
about
getting up...
.

...early
then decided to just
roll over
and take a late morning nap
after finally pulling myself
into the shower
i came downstairs
to find this really
special treat
compliments of the
fiveteen year old son
and his sweet friend
later in the day
the oldest called
along with his sweet friend
to wish me a happy day
early in the evening i
signed onto facebook
to have more than one
hundred birthday greetings
in the evening as i was placing
sarah's breathing mask on
she tenderly placed her hand
on my cheek and wished me
a happy birthday
then told me i was really old
melted my heart
i've never felt more loved
and grateful
thank you everyone

It sounds like you had a nice birthday. I want to include slightly belated Birthday Wishes from us and to say that you are not old. You'll know you are getting there though when you are referred to as elderly. You have a lot of great miles on you yet! Love, Aunt Becky and Uncle Ed
