Birthdays!

My birthday is on the 18Th and will be quietly celebrated. My friend won't be here; he's attending a prior engagement. Mom hasn't driven in a year and reminds me a few times a week that she hasn't. Alzheimer's! This morning she said, "I don't have anyway to get out and buy you something, not that I'd know what to get you anyway." My daughter, Corey, sent me a package via UPS so she and her family won't be here. And to be honest I'd just as well ignore the day of becoming another year older!My dad was alive when we celebrated Corey's 21st birthday; he passed away a few months after her marriage to a fabulous guy! Stacy still had thick brown hair; hair loss due to Renal Failure has robbed her of her gorgeous hair! It's much thinner now and she has grey streaks! Mom and I were both thin and much younger looking. Corey will be 37 this year! This is about the last year I allowed anyone to take photos of me and I now regret that! Photos are important.
