I never really think about celebrating birthdays the same way I do for my son as for myself. I figure after 25, it is not really about celebration...
But I realized something profound on this day. I feel my relationship to my parents continue to grow, even though physically, they are not here. It bonds us thru their work that they have left and I learn, discover something new each day about what they lived to do.
So I guess what I want to say is, I celebrate my relationship to them on this day. Because if it was not for them, I am not here. And, we only get one set of parents, really. What a wonderful pair to have.... !
