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.
