The last few years I have really been dreading turning the Big 3-0. I felt like it would mean half my life was over, and I haven’t even had any kids. The only good thing about my birthday was I’d be spending it with my family camping. Well then my mom died, so plans got changed. So May 29th came and went. It wasn’t anything special this year. My mom made birthday’s special. I didn’t feel any older, and I didn’t feel young. I didn’t feel sad that I was turning 30, I truly felt nothing. It was just another day that my mom was missing.
I don’t mean to take anything away from my dad or Darrell. They are great. And they made my birthday weekend really fun (like ziplining in Lake Geneva!) Plus I loved my rain boots from Darrell, and I love my gifts from my dad (and mom) like a tractor cake pan, and a book I really wanted, plus a cute tulip for my curio cabinet.
Anyways since we decided to not stay camping on the 29th, I decided to have a birthday dinner. I chose Johnny Rockets. Dad, Darrell, Colleen, Bruce and Aileen came. It was very nice. Thanks to dad I even got a free birthday brownie sundae!
