Last Saturday I thought I was going to my daughter's for a small family gathering to celebrate Madison and Jackson's birthdays. Instead, when I walked in the door I heard, "Surprise!" - family and friends had gathered to celebrate my 50th birthday. Can you tell I was surprised?
I am so grateful and blessed to be having another birthday. Cancer does change your perspective about many things - even about growing older. Every year that I grow older is one more year that I have beat the "Big C" and another year that I have had with family and friends. This is my second birthday cancer free - I am both 50 years old and two years free ... Happy, Happy Birthday to me!
PS We did later that afternoon celebrate Jackson's 5th birthday and Madison's soon to be 8th birthday. Thanks my dear friend Dick for the birthday party pictures. And one more good thing about being 50, I get to move to the front of the potluck line at the Millwee's!
