Happy birthday to my David whom I have known and loved for over half my life. It has been nine years since he last celebrated his birthday with loved ones (other than me). His last big birthday bash was his surprise 30th party in our Oxnard, CA home when family and friends gathered from near and far to celebrate. Being back in SF affords him (and us) the opportunity to be just a hop, skip, and a jump away from family and friends, instead of the usual to-do with four hour flights and planned visits months in advance. This newly rediscovered close proximity to family feels almost foreign though, as we had been on our "own" for so long in the Midwest. So, when the opportunity arose to go "home" again, it was the right decision for us. The kids will finally have aunts, uncles, grandmas, grandpas, and even cousins who can go to their Saturday T-Ball game or ballet recital. Gone are the days when Dave and I were the ones showing up to "Grandparent's Day" at school.
So today, I wish you, David, a truly awesome birthday! Remember though, only one more year to the big
40! Unfortunately, I will get there three weeks before you! Boo-hoo!
