It's really OUR day, Mom, and I'm thinking of you and glad you had me. Childbirth is no small thing, and you know better than I do how hard it all can be. Stephen told me you'd lost two babies between having him and me, I can't even imagine how hard that must have been.
I don't feel my age, still clinging firmly to my "chronological" grown-up status as I just don't feel that different than I did 20 years ago. (40 years ago, yes, I was a different person then, but the core is still unchanged.)
Not much to say, just thinking about you and wanted to reach out. I'm thinking of sending R a birthday postcard in October, but via a friend in CA so that she won't even recognize the postmark. HA! we'll see.
