And now a guest post from your mom. Okay, my mom. Get the tissues….
My Dearest,
Your birthday card will be late. Didn’t really say what we would have liked it to say. Still trying to get back to a regular life. Dad is working late and sometimes Saturdays.
We would, of course, say that we love you. I remember when you were in the doctor’s office for an infant wellness visit. I told the nurse that I thought that we would never get a girl. In those days there was no way to know what you were carrying . You were a wonderful surprise.
You know the stories about the boys fetching you from your crib and taking you to their playroom. They would call me only if you cried to be fed or were in need of a change.
I would soak dirty diapers in the toilet. It was yours that was “lost” when I asked your brother B what happened to the diaper when I saw there wasn’t one in the toilet. He responded “it went round and round”. Had to call Uncle S who opened the waste line and began tossing not only a diaper but small toys as well.
Have a beautiful and happy celebration of your birthday. We love you to the moon and back. Mom and Dad
PS I wanted to name you Honey Rose after my beloved maternal grandmother whose children always called her Honey. And because of the watercolored photo of her at about 18 months old holding a rose. Everytime we visited I remembered seeing the picture on the wall. Later I thought better of it as it sounded a little like a stripper.
That Mom, I tell ya. Maybe she should have named me Honey after all! I love you Mom. Next to giving my sister (another story for another time) this was the best present you’ve ever given me.
Now somebody hand me a tissue.
Happiest of birthdays!!
May you be showered in surrogacy offers and sexual favors. But not necessarily from the same person.

Happy Birthday!
Please note I did NOT mention that you are now old, and that references to ANCIENT, DECREPIT and SENILE were not used in any way, shape or form …
… welcome to the 'oldies' club! Oops! Sorry!

Happy Birthday! If you ever decide to take a new bloggie name, you might consider Honey Rose. I love the diaper story as part of your b'day card. Your mom is thinking about you and everything that happened when you were very young.
Oops, I'm not signed in so you're going to get a noreply address. Happy Birthday anyway!
