Natal Anniversaries

Today is my birthday...or for those loath to admit to them , my natal anniversary . It was a dark and stormy night for my poor mother, finally delivering around dawn. As a small compensation for her ordeal, my father gave her a rose for every hour of labor..26 long stemmed beauties ! And their troubles had only just begun...
Today will be quiet...no hoopla nor press coverage...just fit into our daily nuttiness . Those who matter to me have already sent their warmest wishes...wrapping me in their love , yet again , to face whatever this day brings. Mother has already bolted upright in bed twice , long before dawn,convinced she has to leave immediately ! She, of course , has no idea where she's compelled to go, nor why , and is most reluctantly jollied back to bed . It keeps life "interesting ".
Thank you ,one and all , for making my life joyful...for being my life preservers in stormy seas...for being my friends ,dear and precious ! happybirthdaytomehappybirthdaytomehaaaapybirrrthdaydearkatyhappybirthdaytooooomeeeee! hee hee,soo silly...
