end scene


a year ago today i posted my very first family birthday tribute.
today is my sister cheri's birthday,
the sister that started it all.
happy birthday cheri:)
*
this concludes the "shout outs" folks.

most of my birthday spotlights were late.
some were written flashier than others.
what does one expect
when i am digging deep within myself to
write lovely, fresh and unique things about
the people i love most...
all 34 of them. (i think)
*
it was fun to ponder over
the qualities i love about each
sibling, parent, or in-law...
and as i look over how richly blessed i am to have such a big family,
i know that we are in eachothers lives
for a reason.
*
good tidings of merry candle blowing and wish making
to all of you in the year to come.
you can expect a "happy birthday, i love you"
posted on your facebook wall this year...
but i love you all the same:)
PHEW!

my feelings of late, while checking your often unupdated blog, remind me of when I call Leslie and can't reach her. I have often left a message that goes a little something like this, "where are you when I want to talk to you? you're supposed to be waiting by the phone for me." And so, where are your frequent blogs and pretty pictures that make me laugh when I need them?
