This week, waaaay back in the year 1965, was when I was born.
This year is a big birthday for me because I’m turning 60. Also because I didn’t think that I would still be here after the incident that happened just 5 weeks after my 50th birthday when I barely survived a massive stroke that left me permanently paralyzed, and a 4.5 hour heart surgery to remove a large tumor from my right atria, along with a burst appendix that same year. Not to forget having all of my teeth removed in two surgeries a few years later and a couple of years apart. It’s been a tough decade to get through both physically and emotionally. So it’s definitely something to 🥳.
My mother, my husband, and I will be going to my favorite restaurant for dinner after an all-day visit with my mom. I’ve been looking forward to it since Canada Day, so I’d better be careful not to die before the day arrives.
I will be posting photos of our celebratory evening after it happens. Until then, this is the most current picture of nearly 60 year old me.
Wishing you the most wonderful birthday ever! Today is a special occasion dedicated entirely to you, a day to celebrate all the incredible moments you’ve experienced and the ones still to come. May this year bring you an abundance of joy, exciting adventures, and the fulfillment of your dreams. Here’s to another fabulous trip around the sun-let the festivities begin.🎉
Thank you, Ralph ❤️ I will take everything you mentioned with the exception of adventure. I’ve had as much of it as my body will allow.
Many happy returns. Sounds like you’ve been living a fraught but full and happy life.
Emphasis on the FRAUGHT 😉
Happy Birthday!
❤️
