Ok, so I am only 28 today, but man I am old. 28 with three kids, and in exactly one week I will have been married for 8 years. Yep, I think I officially fit in the Old Lady category. Hmmpphh. So this morning before I woke up I had two messages wishing me happy birthday from old friends. I got three more the next hour, and two more the next. Three or four more later in the afternoon. I feel loved. I recieved more birthday greetings today than I have on any other birthday. I was with family and friends today, but it was not so they could wish me a good day. We gathered today to lay my dear, sweet aunt Diane to rest.
I will post later about this wonderful woman, and what a wonderful service we had, but I just want to make something clear. People today wished me a happy birthday, and in the same sentance said that I shouldn't have to spend it like this. I am absolutley grateful that we all said our good-bye's to Diane today. I can't think of a better way to spend my birthday than to celebrate the life of someone dear to me. I can celebrate my birthday any time I want; today was Diane's day.

You've had a rough time of it lately, I am truly sorry for your loss, but I'm happy that you're able to keep a positive outlook. Believe me, I know how hard that is. Keep your chin up.
Oh, and you're not old. I can barely remember when I was 28.
I feel a little better knowing that you will always be older than me, even though I may end up with more children. But, I think children age you much more than actual years. Dangit!
Happy Birthday! 28 isn't that old! Besides, do you even look close to 28?! no, you make 28 look good.
Yeah, you make 28 look great, Pam! Happy Birthday!
I'm sorry to hear about your aunt Diane. I remember her from when we were younger. She was a really great person. I'm glad you were able to be there with your family!
And by the way, you can't think you are old-because that means I am even older... even if it is less than a year! Happy birthday again!
