Now I sound like my dad! I had a nice chat with him tonight, even after he pointed out my "quarter-century". After I fired back that he was over 2 quarter-centuries, he argued that he was better. Totally something I will be saying in 25 years...probably to Oscar and Jessie...haha.
No matter how old I get, I still need my mama! Unfortunately she wasn't home from work when I called home tonight. Not a proper birthday without your mom being apart of it. I am laughing at the memory of a past birthday...when I was in high school. I remember coming home after working all day, and feeling like the "middle child" because no one, but my mom was home. Although, beig my mom, she still made me feel special and made a birthday cake and sang to me. At the time I probably called her a nerd or something similar, but she made me feel really special and I love her for doing that in all her unique ways. I can just picture her standing in fromt of me (with my middle child face on) and her holding the cake and singing to me.
I do have a lot to be thankful for in my first 25 years of life. More recently completing my academic era and the decision to move my life across the pond. I think I can be proud of everything I've done up until now. My philosophy continues to be that no one knows what tomorrow will bring, so its important to carpe diem.
I just got a message that my mom is home, so I'm cutting this short so I can talk to my mama!
Thanks to everyone for their birthday love today xx
Much love back at ya! Xo
