A Bittersweet Birthday

I'm not one to get sad when my birthday rolls around each year.

I don't declare it "birthday week" either* though. 

The one constant on that day the past 31 years? 
Sharing it with one of my favorite people

Don't get me wrong. 
I'm happy, have a great job, family and friends. 
I'm doing pretty well out here in Philly. 



and it feels lonely knowing we won't 
talk and laugh together on our shared day. 

Mamaw, 
I know you're smiling down at me and sending *hugs*
Happy Birthday and I miss you. 
So much. 










***To any friends who do "birthday week",  I'm not judging in the slightest. 
I love celebrating with you!

Very sweet Kim. I didn't know you shared birthdays with one of my very favorite people on this earth. I'm sure it was a joy to her to have you born on her birthday and to share each birthday with you!
