I love birthdays and have since I can remember. My family has always made a big deal about them and some of my favorite memories consist of birthdays. When I was 15 I was informed that one of my favorite people and I had the same birthday, December 28. For about three months we got to count down our birthday, we even celebrated our 1/2 birthday with 1/2 a cupcake and a pretend candle. Unfortunately, we were bad at our math and celebrated it a month early, but I’m so thankful for that, because my birthday buddy didn’t make it to the sixth month mark, unfortunately he died and I had to finish the count by myself. Yet, I got to celebrate it with his family and every year since I have gotten a text or a call from his family, certainly one of my favorite birthday perks.
Another birthday thing that I love is my best friends birthdays from high school. Their birthdays are every other month starting in January and ending in May and they are right in order, 16, 17, 18. So if you pay attention tomorrow is the end of that sequence its Mr. Casey Wood’s 22nd birthday, but this marks the second year I am unable to text him or call him and say happy birthday. I miss him dearly. I wish that tomorrow I could do more than wear my angels shirt and pay extra attention to the ball game, but I can’t. I don’t understand why… but i know that God is in control, he knows what is best and that he loves me.
