I'm about to go play games with my collected family and two of Carol Rice's
kids.

My husband Keith left a card by my keyboard this morning. He's really
careful about picking out cards, when he doesn't just get me to do it for
them. So I know he read this and chose it for a reason. It's long, but I'm
going to share the text here.

---------
Today I wish I could run back through time,
back to when you were little.

I would try to find you on your birthday--in the middle of celebrating
or, even better, at some quiet moment when you were alone.

And if I knew what I know now, I would tell you:
Never forget the hope and joy, the aliveness, of this moment.
Never forget that you deserve happiness,
that your life is precious to so many people.
And never forget how very much I care about you.

----------------

And he came in and I was crying, and he showed me a grocery list and asked if
there was anything else he should get, and I couldn't read the grocery list.

Oh, Happy Birthday!

We're so glad you were born that momentous day.

Deb L, hoping the grocery list included the makings for cake...

How sweet.

When is your birthday?

Mine is tomorrow (thursday).

Thanks, Meghan

The girls and I made a cake today. They sang happy birthday and then
they sang Happy Happy Birthday, Happy Happy Birthday in the tune of that
commercial. You know the one, I think it's a Carl's Jr commercial.. It
was very cute. But then I had to relight the candles three times so
everyone had a turn blowing out the candles. It's so much fun having
kids!
